The production of feed and forage requires precise and reliable analyzers to ensure the quality of final products
Feed and forage are necessary for pets, livestock, and other animals. As every species has different dietary requirements, trustworthy reported nutritional values are critical. The analysis of the protein, fat, and fiber composition of animal feed and forage is essential to determine the final product quality.
Metrohm provides top-quality analytical instruments, know-how, and first-class, on-site service to enable and support your feed production.
Take advantage of our extensive global presence – Metrohm operates in over 80 countries with more than 50 subsidiaries and 30 exclusive distributors.

- AB-121Determination of nitrate with the ion-selective electrode
It has been known for years that consuming too much nitrates from foodstuffs can result in cyanosis, particularly for small children and susceptible adults. According to the WHO standard, the hazard level lies at a mass concentration c(NO3-) ≥ 50 mg/L. However, more recent studies have shown that when nitrate concentrations in the human body are too high, they can (via nitrite) result in the formation of carcinogenic and even more hazardous nitrosamines.Known photometric methods for the determination of the nitrate anion are time-consuming and prone to a wide range of interferences. With nitrate analysis continually increasing in importance, the demand for a selective, rapid, and relatively accurate method has also increased. Such a method is described in this Application Bulletin. The Appendix contains a cselection of application examples where nitrate concentrations have been determined in water samples, soil extracts, fertilizers, vegetables, and beverages.
