Animal Food & Pet Care

We test pet foods, feeds and pet-care products for safety, nutrition and stability. Our services combine microbiology, chemical analysis and targeted surveys (dermatology, mycotoxins, metals and pesticides) so manufacturers and retailers can ensure product quality, compliance and consumer trust.
Targeted microbial testing of finished pet foods and pet-care products for spoilage organisms and pathogens. Includes product testing, surface swabs, air plates and water checks to confirm product integrity and prevent contamination that could harm animals or consumers.
Full nutritional panels for feeds and pet foods: moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fibre, ash, energy and key nutrients. Results support label claims, formulation control and feed-compliance documentation for veterinarians, retailers and manufacturers.
High-sensitivity testing for aflatoxins and other mycotoxins (aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol [DON]) in feed and pet food ingredients to protect animal health and meet regulatory/import requirements.
Dermatological testing for topical pet-care products to assess irritation and sensitivity risk. We screen formulations and raw materials for potential skin reactions using lab methods relevant to animal skin safety.
Shelf life studies for pet foods combining microbiological and chemical monitoring (e.g., rancidity markers) to determine safe storage periods, validate expiry dates and ensure product quality throughout distribution and retail.
Quantitative analysis of essential minerals and heavy metals (iron, phosphorus, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury) by ICP methods to verify nutrient content and ensure levels meet safety limits for animal consumption.
Multi-residue pesticide screening on ingredients and finished feeds using GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS to detect residues that could transfer to animals, supporting supplier control and regulatory compliance.
Routine chemical quality checks – free fatty acids, peroxide value, moisture, salt and other stability markers – to monitor oil degradation, rancidity and overall product integrity in feed and pet food formulations.
