Fat and oil content determination in feed samples

24 Apr 2025

Fat content determination is a critical quality control parameter in animal feed production. By conducting precise fat measurements, this ensures nutritional consistency, supports regulatory compliance, and helps enhance animal health and growth.

Discover an accurate and reliable procedure for determining oil content in plant-based and animal-based feeds, aligned with the official AOCS Ba 3-38 method. Demonstrated on three distinct feed samples, explore the methods conducted and learn more about the power of the automated SER 158 and its efficient solvent extraction capabilities.

Solvent extraction with the SER 158 can be performed for extractable matter determination on a wide range of sample matrices either in food and non-food industries (such as pulp, paper, textile, chemical) and for sample preparation. The solid-liquid extraction process removes the soluble components from solids using a liquid solvent. The SER 158 works in accordance to international standards such as AOAC, ISO, EPA, APHA, UNI.
