Canadian Bio-Systems Inc. of Calgary has developed a quick on-site feed test.

Called FeedCheck Express, the test is said to confirm the presence and activity of enzymes in complete and pelleted feeds, according to a company news release issued Jan. 27. No additional grinding or other processing of feed is required to make it work.

The test involves a kit with simple instructions so anyone involved in a feed operation can apply it. Mark Peters of Canadian Bio-Systems said it is also versatile.

“It is compatible with a broad range of feedstuffs and can be applied at various stages to suit the needs of each customer.”
