Precise, On-Site Aflatoxin Results for Animal Feeds and Pet Food

VICAM’s Afla-V™ ONE answers one of today’s toughest animal feed safety challenges with a simple, full range aflatoxin test that delivers quantitative results in just minutes for complete animal feeds and pet foods. Aflatoxin is the toxic byproduct of several mold species which are natural inhabitants of soil. Classified as a Group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 & G2) present serious risks to human and animal health.

The consumption of contaminated feeds - even at very low concentrations - can result in reduced feed intake, immune suppression, reduced milk production in dairy cattle, and severe losses in growth and feed efficiency for most animal species. To safeguard livestock health and production, more than 100 countries currently enforce strict regulatory limits for aflatoxins in cereal grains, feedstuffs and complete feeds.

Afla-V ONE is the first lateral flow strip test method of its kind, able to accurately quantify total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 & G2) in finished feeds using one method for both feed and pet food samples. A simple barcode calibrates the Vertu TOUCH reader, eliminating the risks and cost associated with toxin-dependent calibration. Afla-V ONE also eliminates the need for sample batching, delivering on-time data for product quality and safety management when and where it can provide the best value. For unmatched speed, safety and economy, Afla-V ONE is the new standard in aflatoxin testing for finished feeds and pet foods.
