# Analysis of Animal Feed for Chemical Hazards

> **NIH FDA U19** · KANSAS STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE · 2020 · $9,814

## Abstract

Project Summary 
The Kansas Department of Agriculture Laboratory aims to help create a national, fully integrated 
food safety system by expanding our testing capabilities in both Microbiology and Chemistry as 
well as increase sample throughput in both human and animal product testing. The Laboratory 
serves as the primary servicing lab for the Food Safety and Lodging (FS&L) and Dairy and Feed 
Safety (DFS) programs. In this analytical track, KDAL will analyze 500 animal feed samples for 
an identified commodity/hazard annually. Continued laboratory accreditation to ISO/IEC 
17025:2017 will allow for a complete quality system to ensure defensible analytical results are put 
forth. The accreditation attests to the competency and technical capabilities of a laboratory to 
perform certain tasks and supports traceability of data generated. The collaboration between the 
regulatory programs and the laboratory will play an integral role in achieving an integrated 
national food safety system.
