Feed Anti-Nutritional Factor (ANF) Analysis
Presence of anti-nutritional factors in feed can adversely impact nutrient digestion and absorption in animals through various means. Detecting these factors in feed and related samples is crucial for ensuring feed safety, enhancing resource utilization, and assessing animal health. BioVenic offers cutting-edge Feed Anti-Nutritional Factor (ANF) Analysis solutions, employing a range of analytical techniques to explore the composition and levels of anti-nutritional factors in samples like animal feed, body fluids, tissues, and beyond. This comprehensive approach supports valuable insights for your animal nutrition research.
Analysis of Common Feed Anti-Nutritional Factors
Our analysis solution offers testing services for prevalent and harmful feed anti-nutritional factors, aiding researchers in understanding their distribution, content, and key characteristics.
Protease inhibitors inhibit all four classes of proteolytic enzymes (serine, cysteine, aspartyl, and metalloproteinases) in animals' gastrointestinal tracts. Using our protease activity analysis methods, we are able to determine the function of protease inhibitors. Our multiple methods also enable the analysis of protease inhibitors structure.
Plant-derived lectins can agglutinate red blood cells based on sugar specificity. Our solutions facilitate studying lectins' biological properties, primary structure, and detection through methods like ELISA and hemagglutination assays.
Phenolic compounds like tannins, lignin, gossypols, and derivatives act as plant-derived ANFs. We offer chromatography-based methods for detecting and analyzing these compounds comprehensively.
Plant glycosides such as glucosinolates, cyanogenic glycosides, saponins, and others can harm digestive health. Various detection techniques are available based on glycoside type, sample characteristics, and content.
Oxalate, a divalent organic anion from plant sources like spinach and nuts, impacts biological processes in animals. Our analysis methods encompass enzymatic assays, liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and electrochemical non-enzymatic approaches.
Phytate's binding properties restrict mineral, protein, and starch bioavailability. Our detection technologies, including spectrophotometry, ion chromatography, and LC-MS/MS, provide insights into phytate content and assess the effects of related additives.
Toxic alkaloids in feed materials necessitate detection for feed safety. Our analytical methods such as HPLC, GC-MS, ELISA, and NIR ensure thorough alkaloid analysis, safeguarding both humans and animals.
Pre-treatment for Feed Anti-Nutritional Factors Analysis
Selecting appropriate pretreatment techniques is vital for the accurate detection of anti-nutritional factors, considering variations in structure, properties, distribution, and content. Tailoring pretreatment methods to the sample type, targeted anti-nutritional factors, and detection technique enhances the efficacy of analysis.
Feed Anti-Nutritional Factor Analysis Techniques
BioVenic offers a diverse array of analytical methods for detecting various ANFs, including immunoassays, chromatography techniques, and other relevant approaches.
- Immunoassays
Immunoassays utilize the principle of antigen-antibody reaction. Our ELISAs for multiple anti-nutritional factor assays are highly efficient and simple to perform. We are also able to help animal nutrition researchers develop novel immunoassays for highly specific detection of anti-nutritional factors.
- Chromatographic Techniques
Utilizing techniques such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography (GC), chromatography plays a key role in detecting anti-nutritional factors across diverse samples. Tailoring the chromatographic detection method to the specific anti-nutritional factors being measured is essential for accurate analysis.
- Capillary Electrophoresis
Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) segregates anti-nutritional factors based on their charge and size through an electric field, providing high resolution and proving particularly beneficial for studying charged compounds. CE stands out as an effective analytical tool for saponin separation and quantitative analysis due to its advantages like exceptional selectivity, rapid analysis times, minimal sample consumption, efficiency, and superior resolution.
- Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
For swift saponin detection, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely employed as a rapid analytical method. NIRS offers multiple benefits in the analysis of ANFs in natural products such as plants, including its straightforward operation, quick analytical pace, non-invasive nature, and lack of chemical contamination.
- Metabolomics
Our metabolomics analysis platform delivers both targeted and nontargeted metabolomics services. These analyses uncover substantial differences in anti-nutritional factors across various samples, offering valuable insights into the metabolism of these factors in animals or plants.
