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

Guidelines for choosing the correct Velp Kjtabs in Kjeldahl Analysis
The digestion phase is the most time-consuming step of the Kjeldahl analysis. Speeding up the process and ensuring a proper outcome is of fundamental importance when it comes to efficiency in the laboratory.
VELP designed seven different types of accurately pre-dosed KjTabs™ tablets to speed up the mineralization process. Along with catalysts, VELP produces antifoaming KjTabs™ to reduce foam formation during the initial phase of the mineralization process.

aNDF Determination in Pig Ration
Forage 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).

Crude Fat Determination in Feed
Fat is an important nutrient in feed rations for cattle, pig, poultry, sheep, horse and pet foods, as a high energy feed ingredient. They are very concentrated sources of energy when added to animal feeds to increase the energy density of the ration.

N/Protein Determination in Rapeseed - Dumas vs Kjeldahl Method
Rapeseed meal, called canola meal in North America, Australia and some other countries, is a high protein-containing material that can be used as a feed for livestock and poultry. Typical meal contains a little less than 40% of protein; however it also contains about 12% of crude fiber.
