Recently, Mr. K.G. Anand – General Manager Venkateshwara Hatcheries Pvt. Ltd., visited The Advanced Nutrition Lab set up by Uttara Impex Pvt. Ltd. (UIPL) at Hyderabad. He was greatly impressed with the advanced equipments as well as with the array of tests conducted at the lab. He said, “I deeply appreciate the efforts by UIPL to help poultry farmers analyze the nutritional value of the raw material and poultry feed through the services provided by this lab. It will help the farmers immensely.”
Praneeth Rao, Director, Uttara Impex Pvt. Ltd. said, “The Advanced Nutrition Lab has made the NIR Calibrations robust by taking support of Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center, Pune and ADISSEO France. The lab supports farmers by providing Total and Digestible Amino Acids of Feed ingredients by making formulations and thereby nutrition, precise and accurate. The lab is equipped with latest Mycotoxin analyzer which gives quick and accurate analyses of major toxins.”
The importance of proper analysis of raw material has been increasing day by day in the Indian Poultry industry. Farmers want to understand the value of raw material in terms of AME, amino acid profile, TPP, TDAA which helps to increase bird performance. Earlier poultry farmers gave samples for proximate analysis only to 2-3 labs to ensure accuracy of analysis. Now it is possible to get accurate analysis report with additional AME, TPP, Amino acid profile from Uttara Impex – The Advanced Nutrition Lab.
The laboratory is equipped with an Advanced Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-NIR) machine. FT- NIR is a non-destructive chemical analysis technology, which is a means of identifying and analyzing various raw materials. FT- NIR systems have certain advantages like higher resolution, better wavelength accuracy, higher signal energy, stability, real time analysis and repeatability. FT- NIR conducts tests like Amino Acid Profile, Apparent Metabolizable Energy (AME), Total Phytic & Available Phosphorus (TPP), Total & Standardized Ileal Digestible Amino Acids (TDAA) and provides Proximate Analysis of Raw Material.
At present, the lab is receiving samples from across India on a regular basis. The raw material is tested with the following three methods to ensure an accurate analysis report-
- ADISSEO PNE services
- Venky’s Indian Calibration and
- Wet chemistry
With the support of PDRC Pune, the lab has designed a robust NIR calibration for proximate analysis. This calibration is purely based on Indian raw material. After several years of testing and research this calibration provides perfect results. Making use of this calibration it is possible to provide accurate results within minutes. Facilities like wet chemistry is also available at The Advanced Nutrition Lab where samples are analysed through advanced digital equipment’s like Toxin Analyser, Digital Buretee, Magnetic Stirrer, Muffle Furnace, Hot air Oven and Advanced Protein Analyser amongst many others. The lab undertakes tests such as Crude Fiber, T2/HT-2 Toxin, Zearalenone, Soluble Protein, Thirum, Sand & Silica, Total Phosphorus etc. Oil analysis is also available here. Accurate report and on-time analysis has definitely helped farmers to trust the lab.
