Ochratoxin Determination in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of Ochratoxin by LC-MS/MS Ochratoxin is nephrotoxin and a carcinogen. Ochratoxin effects protein synthesis, and causes immune suppression and haemorrhaging. Symptoms include weight loss, feed refusal and dehydration. 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 […]
Mycotoxin Determinations in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of mycotoxins by LC-MS/MS Parameters available: Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), Deoxynivalenol, Fumonisins (FB1, FB2), Ochratoxin, T-2 toxin & HT-2, Zearalenone Aflatoxins are carcinogenic and potent liver toxins. Aflatoxin exposure causes rough hair, lethargy and immune suppression. Deoxynivalenol causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea which leads to feed refusal, weight loss and colic. It is […]
Fumonisin Determination in Forages and Feeds
Quantitative determination of Fumonisins (FB1, FB2) by LC-MS/MS. Fumonisins are carcinogenic and can cause head staggers in horses. It is highly toxic to horses and symptoms of exposure include lethargy, decreased feed intake and head pressing.Taking a water sample The analytical result is only as good as the sample submitted for analysis. Collecting a representative […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
