About the Partner Organizations<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Feed Industry Center of China\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA-FIC) is a state-level research and standards institution operating under China\u2019s central government. It is mandated to conduct long-term research in feed nutritional value evaluation, animal nutrition science, and the development of national and industry standards governing feed safety \u2014 making it one of the most authoritative bodies in China\u2019s agricultural and feed science landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPEC Technology is a laboratory instruments brand independently developed and wholly owned by FPI, specializing in the R&D and commercialization of mass spectrometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and physicochemical analysis instruments. Its products serve industries ranging from semiconductors and food safety to environmental science and life sciences. This joint laboratory represents a significant extension of EXPEC Technology\u2019s capabilities into agricultural and feed testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Feed Testing Demands High-Performance Instruments\uff1f<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The quality and safety of meat, eggs, dairy, and aquatic products can often be traced upstream to the quality of the animal feed. As livestock farming scales up and raw material sources diversify, feed laboratories face a growing dual challenge: continuous safety monitoring for prohibited substances, mycotoxins, and heavy metals on one side, and rapid, accurate nutritional profiling of moisture, protein, amino acids, and fat on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analytical Capabilities of the Joint Laboratory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EXPEC Technology provides a comprehensive suite of analytical capabilities \u2014 including near-infrared rapid testing, physicochemical analysis, and mass spectrometry \u2014 covering both nutritional and safety parameters in feed analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enables rapid, non-destructive quantification of moisture, crude protein, amino acids, fat, and dietary fiber. Well-suited for raw material intake inspection and in-process quality control on the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mass Spectrometry & Physicochemical Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Applicable to the detection and quantitative analysis of risk factors including prohibited substances, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe establishment of this joint laboratory creates a practical platform for research and application of feed testing technologies, which will help drive the continuous optimization and improvement of relevant analytical methods.\u201d\u2014 Academician Li Defa, Member of Chinese Academy of Engineering & Director, MARA Feed Industry Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFPI and EXPEC Technology are committed to bringing our expertise in high-end scientific instrumentation to support the joint laboratory\u2019s research and application verification work, deepening the deployment of domestically developed analytical instruments in the feed testing sector.\u201d\u00a0\u2014 Han Shuanglai, General Manager of FPI & Chairman, EXPEC Technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Research Priorities<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The joint laboratory has entered full operational status, with the first phase of sample testing and method validation now underway, prioritizing the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feed Safety Testing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Prohibited substance screening method development<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Multi-toxin mycotoxin detection method optimization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Heavy metal speciation and quantification method research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Nutritional Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Multi-parameter nutritional profiling and NIR calibration model development<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Nutritional value database construction for major feed raw materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What Does this Mean for Your Operations?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      For Feed Manufacturers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      FPI\u2019s instrument platforms can be integrated across incoming raw material inspection, in-process quality control, and finished product release testing. NIR solutions are particularly suited to high-volume production environments, improving testing throughput and data consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For Research Institutions & Universities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The joint laboratory is open to universities, research institutions, and industry partners for complex sample analysis, analytical method development, scientific research validation, and technical training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For Regulatory & Standards Bodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The establishment of this joint laboratory represents another step in FPI\u2019s continued effort to bring advanced scientific instruments into industry-specific applications. From precision analysis in the laboratory to quality control in feed production, and ultimately to source-level protection of food safety, FPI\u2019s analytical technologies are being applied and validated in increasingly critical real-world scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
