Description
This atlas for the microscopic analysis of animal and vegetable feed components is a need to have guide for every feed mill-laboratory to ensure the quality of the product.
The atlas contains more than 830 precise, high quality drawings showing the microscopic structure of vegetable raw materials, animal finished products and single components. Together with extensive descriptions they allow to identify the various components which are used in the manufacturing of compound animal feed. The book is an indispensable laboratory manual and provides a wealth of practical information and techniques for microscopic analysis of feed materials.
Feed microscopy is particularly used when examining the bulk commodities which are incorporated in animal feeding stuffs, to find out whether there is any admixture present, like matter foreign to the particular commodity being tested. It is also used to search for the presence of insects or insect fragments and other foreign bodies found in animal feed after storage.
