An inter-laboratory validation was carried out to determine the performance characteristics of an analytical method based on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) coupled to microbiological detection (bio-autography) for screening feed samples for the presence of spiramycin, tylosin and virginiamycin. Twenty-four samples including blank samples and samples with concentrations of the target analytes ranging between 1 and 5 mg kg−1 (expressed in microbiological activity) were analysed by seven laboratories participating in the study. The required detection limit was 1 mg kg−1 (expressed in microbiological activity). For spiramycin, acceptable values for the sensitivity (at least 95%) indicating the rate of correct positive results were obtained for samples containing this substance at or above 2 mg kg−1, whereas at 1 mg kg−1, the sensitivity rate dropped to about 70%. Therefore, it was concluded that the detection limit was 2 mg kg−1. For tylosin and virginiamycin, acceptable values of the sensitivity were obtained for all concentrations including 1 mg kg−1. Therefore, the method fulfils the criterion regarding the required sensitivity at the target detection limit for tylosin and virginiamycin.
