APPLICATION NOTEF&F-S-002-2019/A1 CRUDE FAT DETERMINATION IN FEEDRANDALLMETHOD Crude Fat Determination in Feedaccording to the Randall method Reference: ISO 11085:2015 Cereals, cereals-based products and animal feeding stuffs--Determination of crude fat and total fatcontent by the Randall extraction method Tested with VELP Scientifica SER 158/6 Solvent AutoExtractor (Code S303A0380) ( 名称:北京盈盛恒泰科技有限责任公司 ) E-mail: sales@ensoultech.com Introduction Fat is an important nutrient in feed rations for cattle, pig, poultry, sheep, horse and pet foods, as a high energy feedingredient. Fats and oils, contain about 2.25 times as much digestible energy as the carbohydrates in grain. They are veryconcentrated sources of energy when added to animal feeds to increase the energy density of the ration. Adding fats andoils will reduce the dustiness of feeds, and reduce ‘fines’ in pelleted diets, adding desirable characteristics which havevalue. Fats and oils can also improve a ration by improving palatability. In particular, cow nutrition is dependent uponadequate energy, protein, vitamins and minerals in a balanced diet, but research is showing that fat content in a cow’sdiet can enhance rebreeding success. The results here presented obtained with VELP SER158 are part of the proficiency testing program organized byBIPEA. The SER 158 results have been compared with the BIPEA expected results and were fully in line with BIPEAtolerance range. Crude Fat determination in feed Hot solvent extraction process with SER 158 Series can be summed up in 5 steps, for a fully unattended operation: STEP 5 COOLING During IMMERSION the sample is immersed in boiling solvent. Then the REMOVING step automatically lowers the levelof the solvent to below the extraction thimble.During WASHING the condensed solvent flows over the sample and throughthe thimble to complete the extraction process. The fourth step involves solvent RECOVERY. Approximately 90%of thesolvent used is collected in the internal recovery tank. The final step is the COOLING of the extraction cups containing theextracted matter. The cups are raised to prevent burning. The extraction cups containing the extract are placed in a dryingoven, cooled in a desiccator and weighed for the extract percentage calculation.

At the end of analysis position the extraction cups containing the extract ina drying oven (1 hour at 105°C), cooled them in a desiccator to room temperature. In Results menu select the extractioncups batch ID analyzed, press calculate, scan the extraction cups with barcode reader and weigh (Total). Results on BIPEA Feed samples Analysis results are calculated automatically and stored in the ControlPad when entering the weights into the software(manually or automatically through a balance). The extract percentage calculation is performed by using the following formulas: Where: Sample= sample weight (g) Tare= weight of the empty extraction cup (g) Total =weight of the extraction cup + extract (g) Sample name Tare (g) Sample (g) Total (g) Extract (g) Extract (%) Feed for piglet 134.1359 3.0308 134.3363 0.2004 6.61 133.5234 3.0330 133.7269 0.2035 6.71 133.8042 3.0263 134.0079 0.2037 6.73 Average ±SD% 6.68±0.06 RSD%* 0.95 Fish meal 133.8927 3.0105 134.1009 0.2082 6.92 133.6175 3.0197 133.8273 0.2098 6.95 132.9321 3.0292 133.1441 0.2120 7.00 Average ± SD% 6.95±0.04 RSD%* 0.60 Laying hen feed 134.1314 3.0095 134.2337 0.1023 3.40 132.9316 3.0157 133.0325 0.1009 3.35 138.5382 3.0684 138.6420 0.1038 3.38 Average± SD% 3.38±0.03 RSD%* 0.81 ( 名称:北京盈盛恒泰科技有限责任公司 ) ( E-mail: sales@ensoultech.com ) Turkey feed 135.7200 3.0031 135.8093 0.0893 2.97 138.1092 3.0113 138.1994 0.0902 3.00 140.0642 3.0085 140.1552 0.0910 3.02 Average ± SD% 3.00±0.03 RSD%* 0.86 *RSD%=(Standard Deviation x 100)/ Average Conclusion The results obtained are reliable and reproducible in accordance with the expected values, with a low relative standarddeviation (RSD<1%), that means high repeatability of the results. Therefore, SER 158 Solvent AutoExtractor is ideal forthe crude fat determination in feed in accordance with ISO 11085:2015 Method. Benefits of hot solvent extraction (Randall) by using SER158 Automatic Solvent Extractor: up to 5 times faster than Soxhlet (hot solvent vs. cold solvent) ● low solvent consumption (high solvent recovery, approximately 90%)-limited cost per analysis ● no exposure to solvent worldwide official method full traceability with automatic result calculation and on-board archive Cloud connectivity to VELP Ermes ensuring software updates, real time monitoring and control, notificationsand enhanced service support.
