BS EN 17299 is a standard that serves method for sampling and analysis of animal feeds for the determination of coccidiostats in animal feeding stuffs to prevent and treat coccidiosis.
BS EN 17299 specifies a high performance liquid chromatographic – tandem mass spectrometry (HPLCMS/ MS) method for the simultaneous screening and/or determination of the eleven authorized coccidiostats contents in compound feeds and feed materials of plant origin at additive and cross-contamination levels and of the five non-registered coccidiostats at sub additive levels and for the screening of the prohibited furazolidone antibiotic at sub-additive level, in the same matrices.
BS EN 17299 provides a range of application of the method which is fit for the purpose of the screening and determination of all eleven registered coccidiostats at the values set by European legislation, of the non-registered coccidiostats and of the screening of the banned antibiotic.
BS EN 17299 on determination of coccidiostats in animal feeding stuffs is applicable to:
Coccidiostats are antiprotozoal agents that suppress coccidia parasite replication and slow the parasite's development in the host cell. They're most commonly used as feed additives to enhance feed conversion.
BS EN 17299 provides you guidance on principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, procedure, calculation and test report which allows you to find the content levels accurately.
BS EN 17299 provides you guidance on tandem mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS/MS) which allows you to find the coccidiostats content levels. BS EN 17299 also provides you with a step-by-step procedure to perform the method accurately.
Guidance in BS EN 17299 enables you to determine the coccidiostats in animal feeding stuffs which enables you to prevent and treat coccidiosis in animals.
