Section Feedingstuff Microscopy

The International Association for Feedingstuff Analysis – Section Feedingstuff Microscopy has represented European feedingstuff microscopists for nearly 50 years. Official control institutes and private organisations from various European countries are represented.
The Section holds an annual international meeting and organises workshops.

The microscopists of the IAG form an international network for exchange of information and skills.

What we do:

• Specialist training and knowledge development
• Organisation and discussion of ring tests (e.g. determination of animal constituents)
• Development of microscopic methods (e.g. ’’Identification and estimation of animal constituents in feedingstuffs’’; leading to EC directives)
• Statements for national and EC purposes

SPECIAL AREAS of INTEREST:

• Identification and estimation of constituents in feedingstuffs (e.g. animal constituents)
• Botanical purity
• Undesirable substances (e.g. datura sp., stone husks, ricinus, ergot)
• Analysis of declarations in compound feedingstuffs
• Infestations (e.g. larvae, mites, moulds)
• Specific damages (e.g. self-heating, burning damages)
