Pet food

Sectors

Pet food must meet the highest standards for nutritional quality, safety and compliance. At QTI Services, we provide fast and accurate analysis for both dry and wet pet food to ensure product integrity and animal well-being.

We test for nutrients, contaminants and additives in complex matrices. Our capabilities include pesticide screening within 24 hours, as well as analysis for dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals, melamine, moulds and microbiological risks. We also assess vitamins, minerals and other functional components.

The nutritional value and safety of pet food depend on the quality of ingredients from sources like meat, fish, grains and vegetables. Our lab specialises in precise analysis of these ingredients to determine feed value, freshness and digestibility.

With advanced equipment, accredited methods and fast turnaround times, QTI Services helps you produce safe, high quality pet food your customers can trust.
