BS 5766-16:1999

This standard BS 5766-16:1999 Methods for analysis of animal feeding stuffs is classified in these ICS categories:

• 65.120 Animal feeding stuffs

This International Standard specifies a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of aflatoxin B₁ content of animal feeding stuffs including those containing citrus pulp.

The lower limit of determination is 1 µg/kg.

NOTE 1 This International Standard may be applicable for the determination of the aflatoxin B₁ content of a number of raw materials and straight feeding stuffs such as corn gluten, groundnut, palm kernel, copra, citrus pulp, tapioca, soya bean, rice bran, pollard, rape seed, niger seed and cotton seed (see references [1] and [2]). These materials were, however, not included in the collaborative testing of the method.

NOTE 2 This International Standard may also be applicable for the determination of the content of the sum of the aflatoxins B₁, B₂, G₁, and G₂. However, the method has not been validated for this parameter by collaborative testing.
