Research Progress of the Detection Technology for Starch Content in Feed
Starch,as one of the main indexes for evaluating the quality of feed ingredients,is the main non-structural carbohydrate in feed and an important energy source required by animals.Accurate determination of starch content in feed is of great significance in evaluating the nutritional value of feeds,formulating rations accurately,and exerting the production performance of animals.With the development of detection technology,many more rapid,sensitive,and accurate methods for starch determination have been developed in recent years.In this paper,we reviewed the detection standards and applicable conditions of starch content in feed,the main detection methods and principles,as well as the characteristics of different methods and the problems in their applications,to provide a reference for the research and development of starch content detection technology in feed.
