Pet Food / Grains / Feed

Easy-to-use, integrated testing solutions to protect pet food, animal feed, and grain-based products from contamination.

Pet food, animal feed, and grain-based products contain diverse ingredients that can interfere with testing. Fats, proteins, grains, and supplements may inhibit PCR or suppress pathogen recovery, making low-level Salmonella harder to detect without optimized workflows. Hygiena® offers validated PCR assays, rapid hygiene monitoring tools, allergen tests, and data management solutions designed to perform reliably in challenging matrices. These solutions help improve accuracy, reduce false negatives, and support confident decision-making. From sanitation verification and environmental monitoring to pathogen detection and trend analysis, our easy-to-use, cost-effective tools help manufacturers stay audit-ready and release products with confidence.

Why Pet Food Is Challenging to Test
