Abstract
Importance of quality control through chemical analysis
has long been established in most developed countries. Quality
control of animal feedstuffs have been given little attention
in Nigeria. Based on this, methods for carrying out effective
quality control of animal feedstuffs have been outlined using
some feed stuffs as examples. National Animal Production
Research Institute broiler starter rations showed a good
scientific formulation even though there were some high and low
results obtained especially for the mineral contents. Variations
of the proximate and toxic factor results of the Pfizer poultry
products from established standards proved better than the
mineral content results. For the National Animal Production
Research Institute dairy cattle rations and lamb concentrate
feed, the results for the proximate factor were in order while
there appeared short-comings in the mineral nutrients and
thioglucoside contents.
