Within this quality control material Minerals (nutritional elements) critical for animal growth and reproduction are measured.
Animal feed plays an important part in the food chain and effects the composition and quality of the livestock products (milk, meat and eggs) that people consume. The aim of legislation and industry self-regulation is to ensure that animal feed is safe, wholesome and does not present any danger to animal or human health and the environment, therefore you will find animal feed in various parts of our programme (e.g. mycotoxins, microbiology, pesticides, GM, melamine, vet drugs). Fapas uses only real animal feeds that are from commercial animal feed suppliers, so you can be sure you the results you receive from your proficiency test correspond to your performance on your routine analytical samples. Feed analysis for proximates can be difficult and often the method itself defines the component (e.g. fibre, starch, oil). Therefore an external check on the execution of the method is important. Proficiency testing can highlight inappropriate methods.
Fapas quality control materials can help address areas of improvement highlighted through your proficiency testing activities. This may be through standardisation activities such as staff training or through activities such as instrumentation verification. This is all in an effort to improve the credibility within your testing arrangement, from which to promote high quality, repeatable test results for your customers to enjoy.
