## Abstract

Funding Opportunity – RFA-FD-24-035: Development and Maintenance of the
Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards
Applicant: State of Alabama, Department of Agriculture and Industries,
Agricultural Compliance Section
As with other state animal feed programs, ours is not a revenue generating program.
To that end it makes it difficult to have the needed funds appropriated to our program for
improvements in equipment and technology.
This funding opportunity is allowing us to implement and maintain the Animal Feed
Regulatory Program Standards. It also enables us to make significant improvements to
our program with the purchase of new equipment and technologies not only for the
regulatory program but also for our testing laboratory. This opportunity is affording us
the capability to update and, in some cases, replace equipment to improve the
effectiveness of our sample collection, storing, transporting and analytical abilities. It will
also enable us to expand on our laboratory testing and sampling for micros.
Accordingly; we will be able to maintain programmatic improvements for years to come
that will help ensure the safety and integrity of the U.S. animal feed supply.
Our program will utilize specific members of our staff to develop and execute a plan to
establish and become fully implemented in all standards and to maintain the standards.
Concurrently our testing laboratory will be taking all necessary steps fulfilling Standard
10 and becoming ISO/IED 17025:2005 certified. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
will be developed and maintained in every area where they would be appropriate to
address all aspects of the program.
