BS EN 16930 is a standard that serves technical specifications for the determination of carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeding stuffs to improve feed efficiency.
BS EN 16930 specifies a high-performance liquid chromatographic – UV detection (HPLC/UV) method for the simultaneous determination of two growth promoters, Carbadox and Olaquindox, contents in compound feeds and raw materials at levels ranging from the limit of quantification to 100 mg/kg.
In BS EN 16930 method, the limit of quantification of the method has been demonstrated to be lower than 3 mg/kg for olaquindox and 4 mg/kg for carbadox.
BS EN 16930 on the determination of carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeding stuffs applies to:
Animal feed is the food that is fed to domestic animals, particularly livestock, in the course of their care. Olaquindox and carbadox are antibacterial and growth-promoting medicines for animals that are commonly used as medicinal feed additives for chicken, swine, and fish.
BS EN 16930 provides users guidance on principle, reagents, materials, apparatus, sampling, test sample, procedure, calculation, precision and test report, enabling the assessment of carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeds that improve feed efficiency.
BS EN 16930 provides users guidance on high performance liquid chromatographic – UV detection (HPLC UV) method for determining carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeds. BS EN 16930 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the technique correctly.
The adoption of BS EN 16930 allows users to assess and develop animal feeds to enhance growth promotion and treatment in animals.
