Animal feeding stuffs — Determination of fat content
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the fat content of animal feeding stuffs. The
method is applicable to animal feeding stuffs except oilseeds and oilseed residues.
For the purposes of this method, the following two categories of animal feeding stuffs are distinguished. Samples of
products in category B need a hydrolysis step prior to extraction.
Category B:
straight feeds of animal origin including milk products;
straight feeds of vegetable origin from which fats cannot be extracted without prior hydrolysis; in particular:
gluten, yeast, soya and potato proteins, and heat-treated feeds;
compound feeds containing the preceding products in such quantities that at least 20 % of the fat content
stems from these products.
Category A:
animal feeding stuffs not mentioned under category B.
NOTE For oilseed residues, a method for the determination of the "oil content" by hexane extraction is specified in
ISO 734-1 [2], whereas a method for the determination of the "oil content" by diethyl ether extraction is specified in ISO 736 [3].
For oilseeds, a method for the determination of the "oil content" by hexane extraction is specified in ISO 659 [1].

Frequently Asked Questions about ISO 6492:1999
When you purchase a standard from the Austrian Standards webshop (e.g. ÖNORM, ISO), a single-user licence is included as standard. This entitles a single person to use the standard. A multi-user licence is required if several employees need access. It enables company-wide, legally compliant use and sharing of standards.
Standardization thrives on expertise and participation. Anyone interested can play an active role in its further development – for example, by joining the relevant committee or a working group. In this way, you can help shape the content and contribute to advancing the state of the art.
If you have an extensive portfolio of standards, we recommend using a professional standards management tool. With effects 2.0, you can manage your standards centrally and efficiently. You can optimise your procurement processes and benefit from an integrated information and subscription service. This ensures you are always up to date and never miss any relevant developments.
