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 solutions that facilitate laboratory work.

Analytical measurements in feed today require 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
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.
