Scientific Studies
Scientific studies are required to support the intended purpose of these products
Studies carried out by qualified personnel
Suitable methods used in studies
Studies designed to facilitate statistical analysis
Data analysed by appropriate statistical methods
Studies conducted under conditions similar to those that may be expected to occur in Canada
Scientific investigations show that the products when used as directed, significantly reduced the pH of feeds for each species/class for which they are intended. Where the directions for use indicate a range of inclusion rates, the testing protocol must evaluate the lowest inclusion rate.
Studies show a significant difference (P<0.05) between the control and treated groups
Where results of these studies have not been published in a refereed journal, copies of the raw data and printouts of statistical analysis are required for our review.

Lab Methods
Original signed copies of Certificate of analysis for a minimum of three lots of these products supporting label guarantees for the primary acidifying ingredients.
Information on the methodologies used to analyse the acid levels e.g. a copy of the AOAC International or other official method is required. In the event that these methods have not been peer-reviewed, additional information is required to validate the laboratory method as outlined in section 6.2
Analytical methodology substantiating the guarantee(s) (e.g. novel guarantee or method) - provided for CFIA Laboratories
