Coccidiostats within chicken eggs will be targeted as part of this proficiency test. Coccidiostats are a group of veterinary medicines which act to reduce the impact of Coccidia parasites on a range of livestock, including poultry and cattle. Veterinary medicines are utilised within good farming practices to maintain high-quality stock which is free from disease that would otherwise damage the quantity or quality of this livestock.
Eggs require accurate and effective testing, not just in relation to the volume of eggs consumed globally, but also a large amount of pesticides that can be potentially used that can translocate to eggs. This large amount of individual pesticides require effective multi-residue testing, to determine residues in an untargeted testing format.
Animal products for human consumption are tightly legislated and closely monitored for compliance. Veterinary medicines used in animals are likely to have a pharmacological effect in humans. Hence, for many veterinary medicines, there are extremely low maximum residue limits or even no MRL (i.e. any detection is non-compliant). The Fapas proficiency test materials are produced in keeping with EU MRLs or minimum required performance limit (MRPL) where MRLs are not set. The result reporting requirements are also in keeping with quality control guidelines laid out in EC/657/2002. Fapas veterinary medicine proficiency test materials include incurred residues as well as fortified animal products. The proficiency tests are grouped in analytical chemical class/matrix combinations and combine identification and quantification. The proficiency tests are suitable for all methods, including screening methods (for the detection of total amount of that chemical class).
Proficiency testing activities from Fapas can highlight any areas of improvement within your current routine analysis activities. This can help you provide the high quality, accurate testing ability your customers, and regulators, require.
