The CONTROL pillar
CONTROL is the first pillar of the SINCRO services offer.
It ensures the management of inputs and outputs through extensive analytical services. The CONTROL pillar provides tools and knowledge for effective quality control of raw materials and finished products.
We understand your CONTROL-related challenges
Overcoming ingredient variability from feedstuffs to finished feeds, maintaining rigorous quality control is vital for the profitability and sustainability of the feed industry.
Accurate monitoring across the value chain is essential for managing variability and achieving continuous synchronization.
Feed variability: Raw material and forage quality can vary by origin, season, and processing, making each batch different. Without proper monitoring and adjustment, this variability affects nutritional consistency, feed safety, production efficiency, and profitability.
Contaminant detection: Mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogens can contaminate feed, harming animal health and productivity.
Regulatory compliance: Evolving regional regulations and production standards require constant adaptation. Variations in formulation and production can lead to non-compliance and quality deviations.
ADM realizes the importance of quality control and helps to ensure the quality of your raw materials and finished products by providing several types of analyses over the world.
How CONTROL pillar from SINCRO services offer works?
ADM is committed to providing accurate, reliable, and timely analytical testing of animal feed, its ingredients, forages, and nutritional supplements.
The CONTROL pillar lies in the comprehensive, science-driven support ADM provides to optimize feed quality and safety.
This pillar of services includes access to a global network of advanced laboratories, offering both standard and rapid analytical methods tailored to customer needs.
The services provided with the support of our network of laboratories meet the requirements of the animal nutrition market, in line with the needs of each market segment.
ADM can offer multiple test methods and analyses, such as:
- Proximal analyses to evaluate moisture, fiber, protein, fat, starch, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids…
- Analyses to assess “quality”: digestibility, KOH solubility…
- Detection of contaminants and undesirable substances like mycotoxins, heavy metals, and pesticides
- Microbiological analyses on raw materials and finished feed products (salmonella…)
- Physical measures (density, particle size, granulometry, pH…)
- Detection and quantification of GMO and DNA species
ADM also provides turnkey solutions for implementing on-site self-checking tools, enabling real-time monitoring, such as robust NIR calibration services.
NIR (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) technology offers a smart, fast, and cost-effective alternative for feed analysis. Because results accuracy depends on the robustness of the calibrations, ADM is committed to leverage its expertise in this service to help industry professionals to enhance quality control, optimize production, and achieve greater precision and competitiveness.
ADM’s NIR solution goes beyond equipment; it’s a complete service package designed around customers’ needs.
ADM NIR offer is built on five key pillars :
Because analytical results have value if they are well understood, ADM goes further and supports you in the interpretation of your analytical results: our teams of experts and our digital tools help you translate them into valuable information for data-driven decision making and into updated formulation matrices.
Because precision isn’t just about technology, but is also about continuous support and expertise, ADM proposes a service-driven approach that adapts to your operations.
Check out what digital apps are related to the CONTROL pillar of the SINCRO services offer :
- MycoControl is a mobile app that allows you to evaluate your mycotoxin contamination risk depending on the species and contamination levels. It offers an easy-to-use decision making tool for your binders strategy.
- GranuloControl offers a portable granulometry analyzer combined with a digital app for particle size management of ground raw materials and feed at field level (poultry, swine).
- QualiControl is an online software for quality data management of feedstuffs and finished feeds.
