To ensure that the experimental conditions themselves do not negatively affect a claimant's ability to perform, non-blinded preliminary control tests are often performed.
These tests measure endpoints such as survival, growth, reproduction, that are measured at each concentration in a gradient, along with a control test.
The process includes rigid review and approvals from the design phase through supplier review and quality control tests for each component and the final product.
The positive aspects of the current solutions include prevention, the implementation of a variety of control tests and a return to using traditional feed.
