What is BS EN 17049-Identification of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox, and olaquindox in animal feeds about?
BS EN 17049 is a standard that serves technical specifications for the identification of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeds which allows you to enhance the performance and accelerate growth in animals.
BS EN 17049 specifies a high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for identifying tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox, and olaquindox in animal feeds.
BS EN 17049 method is suitable for the identification of low concentrations of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox, and olaquindox in compound animal feeds.
BS EN 17049 provides a limit of identification of 1 mg/kg for tylosin, spiramycin and virginiamycin, 4 mg/kg for carbadox and 3 mg/kg for olaquindox.
BS EN 17049 analysis is based on the detection and identification of the most abundant constituents. For tylosin the marker is tylosin A, for spiramycin the marker is spiramycin I and II and for virginiamycin the marker is virginiamycin M1 and S1.
BS EN 17049 method can also detect other isomers and forms, but adjustment of the MS parameters according to the molecular mass of precursor and product ions need to be made.
Who is BS EN 17049-Identification of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox, and olaquindox in animal feeds for?
BS EN 17049 on the identification of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeds applies to:
- Manufacturers of animal feeds
- Dealers and importers of animal feeds
- Testing houses and labs for animal feeds
- Safety and quality assurance services
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 17049-Identification of tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox and olaquindox in animal feeds?
Tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox and olaquindox are feed additives used in animal feeds to improve the quality of feeds and promote animal growth. Some feed additives are used as antibiotics to treat bacterial and mycoplasmal infections.
BS EN 17049 provides you guidance on principle, reagents, materials, apparatus, sampling, sample preparation, LC-MS/MS analysis, data processing, interpretation of results and test report, which allows you to detect feed additives that enhance the quality and performance of the feeds.
BS EN 17049 provides you guidance on the high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. BS EN 17049 also provides you with a step-by-step procedure for the method, ensuring the accuracy of the results.
Guidance in BS EN 17049 enables you to identify tylosin, spiramycin, virginiamycin, carbadox and olaquindox at sub-additive levels in compound feed, enhancing the digestibility of the feeds and providing improved nutritional value to animals.
