- What is BS EN 17256- D etermination of ergot alkaloids and tropane alkaloids in animal feeds about?
BS EN 17256 is a standard that serves a technical method for determination of ergot alkaloids and tropane alkaloids in animal feeds which enables the prevention of toxic contamination of animal feeds.
BS EN 17256 describes a method for the determination of individual ergot alkaloids and tropane alkaloids in unprocessed cereals and cereal-based compound feeds by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
BS EN 17256 has been successfully validated by collaborative trial in the following matrices: rye, barley, wheat, complete feed for bovine, porcine and poultry. Validation in buckwheat produced acceptable results, but the relative standard reproducibility was higher for most analytes in comparison with the other matrices. BS EN 17256:2019 history
