NUTRISYS
An analytical laboratory was established at Avitech as a support function to its premix manufacturing facility. The laboratory, which initially functioned as a support system to premixing, has evolved into a focused and dedicated animal nutrition analytical laboratory.

NUTRISYS Centre for Animal Nutrition; (a division of Avitech) recognizes “value added nutrition” as a key that will take Livestock production to a new efficiency paradigm. With its comprehensive testing and analysis facilities, NUTRISYS provides the livestock industry a knowledge base giving it a competitive edge.

Laboratory analysis is a key tool in taking important decisions in the area of Animal nutrition. It provides the dynamic Livestock professional – the Nutrition Edge.

Enhancing Productivity and Profitability


Feed testing for safety and quality helps feed mills protect customers, prevents recalls and enhances brand image and, for livestock producers, leads to efficient and reliable performance. The systematic management of feed formulation is the best defence against possibility of poor performance – ultimately protecting brand image, value and profits.

Feed is a primary and expensive input in Livestock Industry. The management of ingredient quality and cost is a prerequisite in improving profitability. Ingredient analysis usually enables:

  • Improved supplier management.
  • Feed cost reduction as raw materials assist in the formulation of feed based on the nutrient value of the raw material.
  • Manufacturing consistent feeds leading to improved performance.

NUTRISYS is India’s first laboratory dedicated to animal nutrition. Tests are developed and specifically tailored to the needs of the animal nutrition sector. The laboratory analyses all samples and products to International Standards following scientifically validated methods & procedures.

NUTRISYS experts provide support to feed millers to ensure product quality, safety and nutrition. Working together, Avitech helps feed mills enhance feed quality and guard against contaminants, verify products – raw materials and finished products, empower technical staff through education and training – both on and off location, and find innovative means to keep costs under control.

2. Laboratory Support Programmes

Feed Analytical Laboratory Establishment Programme

Feed testing for safety and quality helps feed mills protect customers, prevents recalls and enhances brand image and, for broiler and egg producers, leads to efficient and reliable performance. The systematic management of feed formulation is the best defense against possibility of poor performance – ultimately protecting brand image, value and profits.

Feed analytical laboratory Training programme


In this programme, Avitech imparts analytical laboratory training to clients. The programme is divided into two parts

1. Basic Proximate principles training programme.
2. Advanced analytical training programme.


These programmes include four steps

1. Theoretical training on methods and procedures.
2. Demonstration of methods and procedures .
3. Practically conducting analytical tests by the trainee.
4. Validation on trainee performance and certification.

The students trained under these programmes will always have access to Nutrisys for troubleshooting. Please contact Avitech for further details of the programme and schedule.
