Abstract The fluorometric procedure for chlortetracycline in mixed feeds is based upon the degradation of chlortetracycline in alkaline solution to isochlortetracycline. The fluorescence of the isochlortetracycline is directly proportional to the concentration of chlortetracycline present prior to alkaline degradation. Chlortetracycline is extracted from mixed feeds with an acidmethanol solvent system, separated from the feed extract by adsorption on a Dowex 50 ion exchange resin, and eluted from the resin by ammonium hydroxide after conversion to isochlortetracycline. The isochlortetracycline is measured fluorometrically. Recoveries from known feeds are generally greater than 90% and agreements with microbiological assays are very close.

Abstract A totally automated method for the determination of nitrogen in feeds has been developed. The apparatus consists of Technicon Auto-Analyzer modules. The SOLIDprep Sampler II has been interfaced with the continuous digestor to provide complete solubilization and digestion of dry samples of feed, grain, and forage materials. Hydrogen peroxide is used as an aid for the wet digestion in the continuous digestor. Mercury, selenium, or copper metal catalysts were not effective for increasing the recovery of nitrogen during the continuous digestion. Nitrogen recoveries of 88–90%, relative to ammonium sulfate, have been obtained on several materials, i.e., corn grain, wheat, barley, rice, alfalfa, fescue, mixed feeds, and feed concentrates. The recoveries from these materials average about 100±2% when an empirical standard, soy hydrolysate, is used. The system operates at 20 samples/hr and has provided precise and accurate nitrogen analyses on collaborative samples. Other laboratories cooperated with us in evaluating the method by providing representative samples and their Kjeldahl analyses. This method provides a significant reduction in the labor required for large numbers of nitrogen analyses in feeds.

Abstract Procaine penicillin is determined by a rapid colorimetric procedure based on conversion of penicillin to penicillamine which turns blue with arsenomolybdic acid reagent. The presence of other antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents in the feed does not interfere. The method is suitable over the range 10–100 g procaine penicillin per ton of feed.

Abstract The procedure described is based upon the alkaline conversion of Chlortetracycline to the corresponding isochlortetracyclines. The isochlortetracyclines fluoresce with equivalent intensity at the same activation and emission wavelength. Direct dilution of feed with ammonium hydroxide to levels similar to microbiological assay concentrations, the use of a feed matrix to eliminate problems of fluorescence interference from feeds, and a sensitive optical system permit the simplified assay of feeds at levels as low as 25 g/ton. Agreement with the microbiological assay is good.

Abstract The fluorometric determination of low levels of chlortetracycline in mixed feeds is based upon the separation of the chlortetracycline on a Decalso ion exchange column after extraction from the feed. The chlortetracycline is eluted from the resin after conversion to isochlortetracycline by hot aqueous sodium carbonate. The isochlortetracycline is measured fluorometrically. Results agree with microbial assays.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of unbound and acetone- soluble bound gossypol in cottonseed meals and mixed feeds at levels of 0.5 ppm. The method involves extraction with aqueous acetone in the presence of ascorbic acid, hydrolysis of the "soluble bound" forms with hydrochloric acid, partitioning into chloroform, and chromatographic separation on a 10 µm C18 column by step gradient elution using a methanol-water mobile phase acidified with phosphoric acid. With minor modifications, the method permitted discriminate determination of unbound gossypol and acetone-soluble hydrophilic and lipophilic forms of bound gossypol. The gossypol peak was characterized by on-line spectral scanning and absorbance rationing. Overall relative standard deviation was 6.7% and overall recovery was 98.1 ± 3.3%. When the method was applied to several cottonseed meal samples, results were inconsistent with those obtained by the official American Oil Chemists' Society method for "free" gossypol determination.
