# Continuity of Feed Contaminant Surveys: FDA CVM Vet-LIRN

> **NIH FDA U18** · PURDUE UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $9,962

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The current project will follow up on the 2018 Feed Contaminant Survey through review of the
design, implementation, and results of the 2018 survey, acquisition of feedback, and
development of recommendations for the continuation of future feed surveys. This will provide
the continuity required to monitor feed contamination events in support of national
capacity/capability development, and to help guide methods development and validation
projects.
The Objective of this Capacity-Building agreement is to support enhanced human and animal
food safety by developing a set of recommendations that will provide the framework needed to
establish consistent, periodic, nationwide surveys of contaminants in animal feeds. The results of
these future surveys can then be utilized to support national capacity/capability development and
help guide methods development and validation projects ultimately strengthening food safety
laboratories and networks. This will facilitate an effective and coordinated response to future
human and animal food safety issues. One Aim is to review the objectives, format,
implementation, analysis, and results of the 2018 Feed Contaminant Survey, obtain feedback
from the veterinary diagnosticians (toxicologists and microbiologists) and from Vet-LIRN
program staff. Recommendations for the continuation of feed surveys will provide the continuity
required to monitor feed contamination events in support of national capacity/capability
development, and to help guide methods development and validation projects. These will be
prepared and submitted to the CVM Vet-LIRN. An additional aim will be to hire students to
work on the compilation of feedback, and on diagnostics-related feed contamination. This will
expose these students to feed contaminant-related veterinary diagnostic toxicology at the Purdue
ADDL stimulating long-term interest in this fascinating field.
