谷物中含有豐富的蛋白質(zhì)、碳水化合物和維生素，可以為人類提供50%~80% 的 熱能、40%~70% 的蛋白質(zhì)、60% 以上的維生素B1。谷類作為中國人的傳統(tǒng)飲食， 在我國的膳食中占有重要的地位，被當(dāng)作傳統(tǒng)的主食。飼料是動物的食物，若 飼料中存在有害物質(zhì)則可能通過動物代謝轉(zhuǎn)移至食品中，從而危害人體健康或 對人類的生存環(huán)境產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響。因此，不論谷物安全，還是飼料安全都不容 小視。我公司可提供谷物飼料中獸藥殘留、農(nóng)藥殘留、成分分析、摻假物質(zhì)、 微生物及轉(zhuǎn)基因等項目的檢測產(chǎn)品。

Feed Analysis and Testing.?Cereal grains and legume seeds are major components in the feed formulations for chickens and pigs. These materials contain a range of anti-nutritional factors such as non-digestible polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. Arabinoxylan in wheat and β-glucan in barley increase the viscosity of the gut content and reduce the rate of feed consumption and nutrient absorption.

These problems are alleviated by the addition of appropriate enzymes such as?endo-xylanase and β-glucanase to the feed.

The major carbohydrate, anti-nutritional factors in legume seeds are the non-digestible raffinose-series-oligosaccharides. These can be converted to digestible sugars by α-galactosidase treatment. Megazyme has recognised the need for simple and specific assays for these anti-nutritional carbohydrates, and has developed the required test kits.
