Animal Feed Safety Solution
Factors affecting animal feed safety have implications far beyond feed intake, digestion, and animal health—they can enter the human food chain and pose significant risks to human health. At BioVenic, our advanced technology platforms encompass testing, development, feed additives, and bioprocessing. This enables us to test and develop innovative solutions for various factors affecting animal feed safety, contributing to enhanced animal health and feed safety.
Animal Feed Safety Analysis
Feed safety is integral to both animal and human health. Our platform offers comprehensive feed safety testing services, helping animal nutrition researchers investigate factors such as:
- Mycotoxins
- Anti-nutritional factors
- Harmful microorganisms
- Pesticide residues
- Environmental contaminants
- Heavy metals
- Genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Our mycotoxin analysis solutions provide precise and efficient testing across a broad spectrum of mycotoxins. We offer tailored testing for common mycotoxins including aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, and patulin using methods like immunoassays and chromatography.
Detecting anti-nutritional factors is crucial for ensuring feed safety, improving resource utilization, and assessing animal health. Our comprehensive analysis solution covers common ANFs such as protease inhibitors, lectins, phenolic compounds, glycosides, oxalates, phytates, and alkaloids.
- Animal Feed Microbiology Testing
Animal feed, rich in nutrients, is susceptible to contamination by harmful microorganisms during processing, transport, and storage. This contamination can deplete feed nutrients, reduce feed safety, and cause epidemics in animals and humans. We offer extensive testing services to detect harmful microorganisms (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, mold). Our services include determining the total bacteria count and developing rapid detection solutions for harmful microbes through specialized culture media and test kits/ cards.
- Animal Feed Pesticide Residue Testing
The extensive use of pesticides presents potential health risks to humans, animals, and non-target species, with contaminated feed being a major entry point. Our solutions for testing pesticide residues in animal feed and related samples help mitigate adverse effects caused by pesticide applications.
- Animal Feed Heavy Metal Testing
The main heavy metals of concern in animal feed safety are arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg). For these heavy metals that affect animal health, our testing platform can help provide testing services. Technologies for heavy metal detection mainly include atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), flame emission spectroscopy (FES), UV/VIS spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF).
- Animal Feed Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Testing
GMO testing is crucial when agricultural products, including feed, inadvertently mix with non-GMO food. Our platform offers GMO detection methods such as DNA-based PCR assays and protein-based ELISA assays. We not only provide GMO testing for animal feed but also develop GMO testing kits for broader applications.

Feed and Food Safety Assay Development
Ensuring the health of both animals and humans necessitates the detection of mycotoxins, anti-nutritional factors, harmful microorganisms, pesticide residues, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in feed and food. Our advanced technology platform not only offers fast and accurate testing for these factors but also aids in the development of relevant assays. We provide comprehensive support for developing various assays, including immunoassays (e.g., ELISA, LFD) and genetic assays (e.g., PCR, qPCR).
Animal Feed Safety Solutions
Our solutions offer comprehensive and in-depth testing services to identify factors compromising feed safety. Additionally, we focus on developing new feed additives and biological treatment methods to mitigate the adverse effects of mycotoxins, anti-nutritional factors, and other harmful elements in feed, thus enhancing animal nutrition and health.

- Feed Fermentation Solutions
- Feed Enzymatic Processing Development
We provide a one-stop solution for detecting mycotoxins in feed, including aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone. Our solutions enable the study of multiple mycotoxins' effects on animals, examining their structure, function, and impact on different species. We develop methods to eliminate these mycotoxins' adverse effects on animal health.
Common feed additives for mycotoxins include adsorbing agents, biotransforming agents, and compounds that indirectly influence mycotoxins (e.g., antioxidants). We offer a comprehensive solution for developing feed additives for mycotoxins, incorporating mycotoxin analysis, safety, and efficacy studies, as well as in vitro and in vivo experiments on animals.
Biological degradation of mycotoxins operates under mild, eco-friendly conditions and shows considerable promise. Our solutions facilitate identifying and isolating microbial strains capable of mycotoxin degradation. We assist in developing mycotoxin-degrading enzymes and fermentation methods to achieve biological detoxification of animal feed.
Anti-nutritional factors in feed, such as protease inhibitors, lectins, phenolic compounds, glycosides, oxalate, phytate, and alkaloids, can significantly impede nutrient absorption in animals. Our solutions help research the effects of multiple anti-nutritional factors on animals and develop strategies to minimize their impact, thereby improving animal health.
Unconventional feed materials often contain various anti-nutritional elements that hinder their direct use in animal feed and affect animal health. Our platform focuses on developing feed additives to counteract these elements' adverse effects. We aid in developing enzymes, probiotics, and other feed additives to reduce the impact of anti-nutritional factors in animal feeds.
Biological pretreatment of feeds, such as fermentation or enzymatic treatments, is vital for reducing anti-nutritional factors. These methods degrade anti-nutritional factors and provide probiotics or their metabolites, supplement endogenous digestive enzymes, and improve animal gut health. Our technology platform assists in developing probiotics or enzymes and optimizing feed bioprocessing to enhance the utilization of feeds containing anti-nutritional factors.
