Nutrition Laboratory

Having modern and high-tech equipment beside studying the most up-to-date scientific references and technological methods in the world, Minatoyoor Nutrition Laboratory, has developed the most optimum experimental methods, which its purpose is to provide accurate and precise results in nutrition and especially Poultry nutritional experiments.

In this laboratory, in addition to common nutritional tests, the activity of enzymes is measured with high accuracy. These tests, which include determination the activity of different types of enzymes (Phytases, proteases, Carbohydrases and Lipases) as pure enzymes, enzymes activity in feed and determination of enzymes activity by simulating pellet conditions in the laboratory, relying on scientific and technical methods which are approved by top international academic laboratories and scientists. These tests are designed to provide a suitable condition for the scientific section of Minatoyoor to achieve to one of its important goals in taking progressive steps to determine the activity of enzymes on the basis of knowledge and research in our country, Iran.

By applying modern and methodical procedures in measurement Minatoyoor Nutrition Laboratory is ready to measure the amount of minerals both in their free form or chelated compounds, accurate determination of humidity as an important factor in quality controls and the ash level in whole feed, premixes, supplements and concentrates in livestock, poultry and aquatic animals feed.
