Animal feed means products of vegetable or animal origin, in their natural state, fresh or preserved, and products derived from the industrial processing, for animal feeding. These can be premixtures, complementary feeding stuffs with a high content of a certain substance, complete feeding stuffs, additives or just products that are meant for animal feeding.

Flash news
Launch multiresidue methods with maximum number of components at the lowest possible RL
Research and development are an important part of the Primoris activities.
To support these developments, we always consider evolutions in market demands and legislation. Maximal risk coverage is becoming increasingly important within pesticide residue analysis, which can be contributed to the increased focus on food safety. Furthermore, we have noticed a growing market demand for lower reporting limits.
Scope extension of LC-MS/MS multi residue methods on 1 March
On Monday 1 March, we activate a substantial expansion of our LC/MS-MS multiresidue methods. Thanks to this expansion, we assure maximum safety regarding the current legislations and directions in terms of food safety and we offer you analytical methods that are in line with the actual needs of the market and that are relevant for your products.
