Stud Farm Hygiene Package
This package is designed to help stud farms prevent enteric and respiratory disease in young foals. The tests offered within this package concentrate on the hygiene in the communal areas of a busy foaling unit. Stud farms which have previously availed of this package have successfully shown that it is possible to reduce the incidence […]
Sulphate in Water
Sulphate is naturally occurring and found in numerous minerals. Taking a water sample The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample is the first step of the analytical procedure. Clean tap thoroughly, including the inlet with a flame or disinfectant wipe. Turn on the tap and […]
T-2 Toxin & HT-2 Determination in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of T-2 toxin & HT-2 by LC-MS/MS Exposure to T-2 causes gut upset, vomiting, diarrhoea, bowel inflammation, immune suppression and weight loss. These toxins are heat resistant and therefore resistant to cooking processes. Taking a representative sample: The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative […]
Ton, Nitrite And Nitrate in Water
Nitrate in water generally originates from sources such as waste discharge, slurry and artificial fertiliser. Nitrite is a product in the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate. Taking a water sample Clean tap thoroughly, including the inlet with a flame or disinfectant wipe. Turn on the tap and allow water to run for a minimum of […]
Water Analysis
Testing of water samples for physiochemical parameters: Parameters included: Mains/ wells: Ammonia, chloride, fluoride, hardness, TON, nitrite, nitrate, sulphate (wells), pH, conductivity, turbidity, Iron and Manganese (wells) Comprehensive: Alkalinity, ammonia, chloride, fluoride, hardness, TON, nitrite, nitrate, sulphate, pH, conductivity, TDS, turbidity, arsenic, calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, lead, selenium, zinc Taking a water […]
Zearalenone Determination in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of Zearalenone by LC-MS/MS Zearalenone causes fertility disruption and hyper-oestrogenic activity. It can also cause enlargement of the uterus, rectal and vaginal prolapse, abortions, infertility, foetal loss syndrome and poor foal growth. Taking a representative sample: The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample […]
Deoxynivalenol Determination in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of Deoxynivalenol by LC-MS/MS. Deoxynivalenol causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea which leads to feed refusal, weight loss and colic. Taking a representative sample: The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample is the first step of the analytical procedure. Hay & haylage: Different types, cuttings […]
Conductivity in Water
Conductivity measures the ability of water to conduct an electrical current. Taking a water sample The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample is the first step of the analytical procedure. Clean tap thoroughly, including the inlet with a flame or disinfectant wipe. Turn on the […]
Chloride in Water
Chloride occurs naturally in areas of saltwater intrusion. However it can also be present in industrial waste and sewage and therefore can be used as an indicator of pollution. Taking a water sample The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample is the first step of […]
Alkalinity in Water
Alkalinity measures the buffering capacity of water. Taking a water sample The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative sample is the first step of the analytical procedure. Clean tap thoroughly, including the inlet with a flame or disinfectant wipe. Turn on the tap and allow water […]
