Racehorse anti-doping,
feed safety, pet-food metals.

Texas-based equine and show-animal anti-doping panels by LC-MS/MS, therapeutic-drug monitoring for veterinary clinics, and the contaminant screens behind every pet-food recall — mycotoxins, heavy metals, melamine.

01 · What we test

Three workflows. One animal-health lab.

Race-day anti-doping, clinical TDM for vets, and the contaminant screens that drive pet-food and feed recalls. We built the panel mix Texas operators kept asking us for.

01
LC-MS/MS

Equine anti-doping screen

Multi-class anti-doping panel for racehorses, show horses, and rodeo stock: NSAIDs, beta-agonists (clenbuterol), corticosteroids, sedatives (acepromazine), opioids, stimulants, local anesthetics. Plasma, serum, urine, hair.

LOD ng/mL · 5–7 days
02
ICP-MS / IC

Cobalt & alkalinizing agents

Total cobalt in plasma against the 25 ng/mL ARCI threshold. TCO₂ / bicarbonate testing for milkshake-style alkalinizing infusions used to delay fatigue.

LOD 1 ng/mL · 4–5 days
03
LC-MS/MS

Therapeutic-drug monitoring (TDM)

Vet-clinic TDM for phenobarbital, bromide, levetiracetam, cyclosporine, ciclosporin metabolite, fluoxetine, and chemotherapeutics in dogs and cats. Trough / peak quantification with reference range reporting.

LOD ng/mL · 3–5 days
04
LC-MS/MS

Animal-feed mycotoxins & pesticides

Aflatoxins, ochratoxin, deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone, fumonisins in animal feed and forage. Plus the 60-analyte pesticide panel for hay, silage, and complete feeds.

LOD 0.5 ppb · 5–6 days
05
ICP-MS

Pet-food heavy metals

Pb, Cd, As (with inorganic speciation option), Hg in pet food, treats, and supplement chews. The recurring failure mode behind FDA-CVM recalls and class-action complaints over the last five years.

LOD < 5 ppb · 4–5 days
06
LC-MS/MS

Adulterant screening (pet food)

Melamine, cyanuric acid, vitamin-D3 over-fortification, undeclared pentobarbital. The full FDA-CVM watch list for pet-food contaminants.

LOD ppb · 5–7 days

03 · Common veterinary anti-doping targets

Where horsemen and pet-food operators get caught.

Anti-doping failures and pet-food recalls follow predictable patterns. We test against the panels racing commissions and the FDA-CVM actually act on.

Phenylbutazone (“Bute”)
ARCI threshold 4 ng/mL plasma
High risk
Most common NSAID overage. Withdrawal-time miscalculation; race-day positives concentrate in claiming circuits.
Clenbuterol
Beta-agonist · ng/mL
High risk
Bronchodilator and repartitioning agent. Hair testing extends detection window months past urine clearance.
Cobalt (total)
ICP-MS · ≤ 25 ng/mL ARCI
Medium risk
Erythropoiesis stimulator administered as B12-style “supplement.” Total cobalt is the regulatory threshold; speciation available.
Furosemide (Lasix)
Race-day diuretic
High risk
Bleeder medication with race-day administration windows. State-by-state rules; we report against the jurisdiction you flag at intake.
Melamine (pet food)
LC-MS/MS · ppb
High risk
2007 pet-food recall driver. Re-enters supply chain through wheat-gluten and rice-protein imports.
Aflatoxin B1 (feed)
LC-MS/MS · ppb · corn / peanut hulls
High risk
Hot-summer pre-harvest fungal toxin that recurs in pet-food and dog-treat recalls every 12–18 months.
04 · Compliance

ARCI, AAFCO, FDA-CVM — mapped to the right panel.

Veterinary testing splits across racing commissions, the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, and AAFCO. We map the assay scope to the regulator who will read the COA.

ARCI / RMTC
Equine medication thresholds

Association of Racing Commissioners International and Racing Medication & Testing Consortium publish state-by-state thresholds and withdrawal times for therapeutic and prohibited medications. Our panels report directly against the ARCI threshold and flag the jurisdiction.

FDA-CVM
Pet-food adulterants & contaminants

FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine regulates pet food under 21 CFR Part 500. Heavy metals, mycotoxins, melamine, cyanuric acid, vitamin-D over-fortification, and pentobarbital are the recurring recall drivers we screen for.

AAFCO
Animal-feed model regulations

AAFCO Official Publication sets model regulations for feed labeling, nutrient profiles, and contaminant limits. Our pet-food panel reports against AAFCO maximum guarantee and contaminant thresholds for state feed-control inspection.

USP <232>
Heavy metals in pet food & supplements

USP elemental-impurity limits applied to pet food, treats, and animal supplement products. Our ICP-MS panel reports against USP oral-product PDE values and the FDA-CVM action floor.

21 CFR 556
Veterinary-drug residues in food animals

FDA tolerances for veterinary drugs in edible tissue, milk, and eggs. Used for pre-slaughter compliance verification by feedlot, dairy, and aquaculture operators.

Still stuck? Email us — we reply within a business day.

Yes. We accept equine plasma, urine, and hair from racing barns, training centers, and rodeo stock contractors. Reports are delivered confidentially to the trainer of record with chain-of-custody documentation suitable for racing-commission inquiry. Race-day panels run on a 5–7 day standard turn or 48-hour priority.

Cleaner barns, safer feed, recall-proof pet food.

Equine anti-doping, vet TDM, animal-feed contaminants, and pet-food metals — one Texas lab, published prices.
