This standard BS 5766-3:1999 Methods for analysis of animal feeding stuffs is classified in these ICS categories:

• 65.120 Animal feeding stuffs

This International Standard specifies a spectrometric method for the determination of the phosphorus content of animal feeding stuffs.

The method is applicable to animal feeding stuffs with a phosphorus content less than 50 g/kg. It is particularly appropriate for the analysis of products with low phosphorus content. For products with higher phosphorus content, application of a gravimetric method is advised, using for instance quinoline phosphomolybdate.
