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).
Coccidiostats plus Chloramphenicol will be targeted within this proficiency test. Residues will be at contamination (not medication) concentrations, i.e. in µg/kg. This allows you to effectively evaluate your testing ability at this usually lower concentration, which may challenge your current testing arrangement.
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.
Animal feed is vital to ensure a high quality stock, from which fair financial reward can be found. As such it is key to ensure that only high quality animal feed is used, which is not contaminated. This requires your effective testing ability from which to highlight any low quality animal feed.
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.
