Heavy Metals & Trace Contaminants

要点

Heavy metals — lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury — accumulate in animal tissues and are regulated in feed materials, with mineral sources and marine ingredients carrying the highest inherent risk.

计量方式: mg/kg (ppm) by ICP-MS or ICP-OES after digestion; speciation for inorganic arsenic where required

Risk concentrates in mineral and marine inputs

Phosphates, trace mineral salts, limestone and marine proteins are the usual entry points for heavy metals into a feed chain. Plant materials generally carry lower loads, though cadmium in some phosphate-fertilised crops and soils is a known exception.

Cumulative exposure is the regulatory concern

Regulators set limits on complete feed as well as feed materials because exposure accumulates across many small contributions. A compliant individual ingredient can still push a complete diet over the limit when several inputs sit near their maxima.

应核实事项

  • Certificate values for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury against destination limits
  • Whether arsenic is reported as total or inorganic
  • Contribution calculation at complete-feed level, not only per ingredient
  • Supplier's raw-material origin and mining or fishery source consistency

常见风险

  • Residues in eggs, milk and meat
  • Import rejection and product recall
  • Cumulative exceedance at complete-feed level

常见错误

  • Testing only the finished feed
  • Accepting a generic certificate not tied to the delivered lot

常见问题

How often should heavy metals be tested?

Risk-based: every lot for high-risk mineral and marine inputs from new sources, then a reduced frequency once a supplier's statistical history is established, with periodic verification retained.
