We develop analytical solutions to guarantee healthy and safe animal nutrition

We develop analytical solutions to guarantee healthy and safe animal nutrition
For over thirty years VELP has been producing solutions to improve feed quality and composition, supporting producers from the analysis of the raw material to the finished product. Our goal is to provide reliable, precise and accurate analytical solutions that facilitate laboratory work.

Analytical measurements in feed today requires efficient and innovative instrumentation to address industry challenges and we can assist you from raw material to finished goods for:
  • Proteins determination
  • Oils and fats extraction 
  • Crude and Detergent Fiber determination
  • Oxidation stability studies of fats and oils 
  • Storage period studies
  • Product Development and behavior
  • Formula Optimization 
  • Ingredient and alternative ingredients testing

aNDF Determination in Pig Ration
aNDF Determination in Pig RationForage quality is a direct reflection of its essential nutrient content and availability to the consuming animal.
The concept behind the detergent fiber analysis is that plant cell substances can be divided into less digestible cell walls (made of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) and the highly digestible cell contents (containing starch and sugars).
