The Agriculture & Food Laboratory (AFL) at the University of Guelph works closely with provincial legislators and producer associations in both meat and milk sectors. We provide qualitative and quantitative, rapid and cost-effective testing for the major classes of antimicrobials and other drug classes in a large variety of matrices including; milk, meat, feed, and honey. Our testing includes regulated and banned substances and supports Canadian meat exports. Our drug confirmation services confirm therapeutic drug levels in medicated feed at all dose levels.
