Missouri Animal Feed Sample Nutritional and Contaminant Test Results

Feed sample testing results from the Missouri Department of Agriculture detail nutritional components and contaminant levels. The dataset includes over 30 columns such as MON_GUAR, VIT A_RSLT, and AFL_RSLT, covering guarantees, results, and units for vitamins, minerals, and mycotoxins. Data is provided by the state's agriculture department and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare actual nutrient results (e.g., P_RSLT, CA MAX_RSLT) against guaranteed minimums (e.g., P_GUAR, CA MIN_GUAR) to assess product label accuracy.
• Analyze contaminant levels like Aflatoxin (AFL_RSLT) and Deoxynivalenol (DON_ED) across feed samples for safety risk assessment.
• Model relationships between different mineral contents (e.g., SE_RSLT, ZN_GUAR, FE_RSLT) to study nutritional correlations in feed formulations.
• Classify feed samples based on unit measurements (e.g., CU_UNIT, MG_UNIT, ASH_UNIT) to standardize reporting formats.

Strengths

• Dataset contains over 30 specific columns for detailed feed analysis.
• Data is sourced from a state government agriculture department, providing official records.
• Includes both nutritional components (vitamins, minerals) and safety contaminants (mycotoxins).

Limitations

• Sample size (row count) and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting statistical reliability assessment.
• Geographic scope is limited to the state of Missouri, which may not be representative of other regions.
• Data completeness for all columns (e.g., unit fields, result fields) is unverified without sample data.
