FeedChek screening test unveiled.SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats. For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation. Europe has recently introduced the FeedChek[TM] test, designed to detect mammalian-derived meat and bone meal Meat and bone meal (MBM) is a product of the rendering industry. It is typically about 50% protein, 35% ash, 8-12% fat, and 4-7% moisture. It is primarily used in the formulation of animal feed to improve the amino acid profile of the feed. (MBM MBM meat and bone meal. ) in cattle feed. This helps the user to comply with stringent regulations to prevent the spread of Mad Cow's Disease. A recent independent study found FeedChek[T]M to be the only immunoassay Immunoassay An assay that quantifies antigen or antibody by immunochemical means. The antigen can be a relatively simple substance such as a drug, or a complex one such as a protein or a virus. to achieve 100% specificity, sensitivity and accuracy when testing for total processed animal proteins. In order to meet user-specific requirements, the FeedChek[TM] test incorporates two tests into one test strip. One test indicates the presence of any MBM (avian avian /avi·an/ (a´ve-an) of or pertaining to birds. a·vi·an adj. Of, relating to, or characteristic of birds. and mammal) and the second test indicates the presence of mammalian derived MBM in the sample. FeedChek[TM] is the only test available that provides results for both mammalian and poultry meat. The test's easy to use format is more sensitive and much faster than labour-intensive, costly and time-consuming microscopic methods: and unlike other immunoassays, FeedChek[TM] does not require boiling or weighing of samples.
