Analytical methods(1)

For quantification of total manganese in the feed additive:

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) (BS EN ISO 6869:2001(2)), or

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry after pressure digestion (ICP-AES) (BS EN 15621:2017(4)).

For quantification of total manganese in premixtures:

  • Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) (BS EN ISO 6869:2001(2)),

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) (BS EN 15510:2017(3)),

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry after pressure digestion (ICP-AES) (BS EN 15621:2017(4)), or

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) (BS EN 17053:2018(5)).

For quantification of total manganese in feed materials and compound feed:

  • Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) – Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed (Annex 4-C)12,

  • Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) (BS EN ISO 6869:2001(2)),

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) (BS EN 15510:2017(3)),

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry after pressure digestion (ICP-AES) (BS EN 15621:2017(4)), or

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) (BS EN 17053:2018(5)).

For quantification of lysine and glutamic acid content in the feed additive:

  • Ion exchange chromatography coupled with post-column derivatisation and photometric detection (IEC-VIS) (BS EN ISO 13903:2005(6)).

For determination of the chelated form of the feed additive:

  • Mid-infrared (IR) spectrometry together with the determination of the content of trace element and lysine and glutamic acid in the feed additive.
