Importance of Sampling Agreement • Supports laboratory in obtaining or expanding scope of ISO 17025 accreditation • Supports Animal food program in implementing AFRPS • Successful programs will exhibit integrated planning and enhanced/routine communications between the Laboratory and Feed program regarding sampling. • Meets the goals of the RFA • Lab commitment to analyze surveillance and emergency samples • Sharing lab results through eLEXNET • Increase national lab capacity and enhance efforts to protect the animal food/feed supply
EXAMPLE State AFRPS-ISO Sampling Agreement State Laboratory Agency Titles and Address State Feed Regulatory Program Agency Titles and Address Date
Concerning: The Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) and AFRPS Cooperative Agreement (CA) ISO 17025 Competition. The Following sampling agreement is between the _[insert name of State feed regulatory agency]_________and the _[insert state feed laboratory]_________ to ensure a sound plan regarding sampling of animal feed and feed ingredient products for protecting the public’s health (human and animal). This agreement and the program described below support the sampling objective required by the AFRPS Cooperative Agreement and state feed regulatory programs implementation of the AFRPS.
Does your state have a feed sampling agreement/plan in place? Yes No Does your state routinely collect feed samples for analysis? Yes No
Please summarize below either your current or your proposed sampling agreement/plan: • Number of Samples schedule for FY 16 (breakdown by contaminant/hazard and commodity – corn, cotton, distillers, feed ingredients, finished feed, etc) • Types of Analysis to be performed: • Chemical Contaminant: Mycotoxins, Pesticides, Industrial Chemicals, Elements (heavy metals), Dioxin, Antibiotics, etc. • Microbial (Salmonella, E. Coli,Listeria, etc), • Physical Contaminants: metal, wood, etc. • Nutritional (including nutritional deficiencies): vitamins, minerals, etc. • Misc: guarantee analysis, etc
Sample collection frequency (quarterly, 2x/year, seasonal, etc.) • Program (routine inspection, imports, etc.) • Outline how these sampling proposals support the animal feed priorities of the State
Please attach the following supporting documents: • Sampling plan outlining the State program’s sampling priorities, the sample analysis schedule, and the availability or coordination of analytical support (AFRPS Std. 11 program elements 11.3 A) • Laboratory capability • Enforcement capability • Sampling procedures including methods for collecting, storing and transporting samples, and instructions for documenting the sample collection (AFRPS Std. 11 program elements 11.3 B) • Laboratory methods
The sampling agreement relates to the timelines outlined in the AFRPS Cooperative Agreement (CA) ISO 17025 Competition. Director of Animal Feed Safety Director of the Feed Laboratory _______________________ _____________________________

“Grand Dog” Wilson Feed SamplingState PerspectiveLaboratory/Program Perspectives Mark LeBlanc, AAFCO President
History • States have been regulating animal feed for over 100 years. • Original need for regulation revolved around economic adulteration. • Need for common methods of analysis drove the creation of methods to determine crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber.
For most of the history of feed regulation, the focus has been on economic adulteration. Is the farmer getting what he is paying for? • Feed Regulatory Programs have had to adjust as different challenges emerged regarding adulteration. • Focus has shifted from entirely economic sampling to include safety for man and animal.
Each state will have its own perspective on sampling priority. • Widely different feed commodities • Common adulterants can vary depending on location. • For example Aflatoxin in the southeast vs other mycotoxins in the midwest. • Each state has its own perspective on economic vs feed safety sampling. • Each state may have a different perspective on risk
Laboratory/Program Interaction This can be a challenge.
Laboratory/Program Interaction • Tools to improve relationship • Communication • Mutual understanding • Inspector/Analyst exchanges • Communication • Regular meetings • Communication
Regulatory Program Considerations for Sampling Plan • Risk • Economic and safety • Opportunity • What is in commerce? • Budgetary • Staffing Limitations • Quality vs Quantity? • Representativeness vs Practicality
Laboratory Considerations for Sampling Plan • Capacity • Staffing • Throughput Limitations • Capability • Instrumentation • Expertise • Sample Integrity
Joint Sampling Plan • Lab and Program must agree on • Sample timing • Sample matrices and analytes • Sample throughput time • Sample integrity/chain of custody • Sample storage and retention • Record storage and retention • Means of sharing analytical data • Laboratory security
