B.3. WVDA LFFM Project Summary / Abstract The safety and quality of the food we feed our pets and livestock is paramount to the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. Animal food that is chemically contaminated can sicken or kill pets and livestock. These contaminants can also make their way into the human food supply chain and cause harm to human health. The quality of animal food and its ingredients is also important. It allows consumers to make informed decisions about what they feed their animals and helps to ensure that pets and livestock are receiving their nutritional needs. Animal food product testing is an integral part of an integrated food safety system. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture Regulatory and Environmental Affairs Division is composed of six laboratory sections: agricultural materials, dairy, food chemistry, microbiology, pesticides, and seed. The work proposed in this project will be performed in our agricultural materials and pesticides laboratory sections. In each year of the project the WVDA will analyze a minimum of 500 animal food samples. The types of analyses will change from year to year but will include toxic metals, nutritional metals, mycotoxins, iodine, drug residues, glyphosate, and multiple proximate analyses. Key personnel that are involved in the project include Joshua Arbaugh, Chemist III/Seed Analyst/Microscopist and Technical Lead; Margolite Cesar, Research Chemist; Thomas Trupo, Chemist II; and Chris Roy, Laboratory Assistant. The WVDA has made a commitment in recent years to increase laboratory staff and interviews are scheduled for additional chemists. The WVDA chemistry laboratory will have five methods under its’ scope of accreditation in 2020. All other methods not currently under the scope of accreditation follow the same ISO/IEC 17025 quality system, proficiency testing, and competency requirements. Funding received through the LFFM will support the fees associated with maintaining accreditation such as equipment calibrations, preventative maintenance, assessments, personnel, and travel for training. Consumable costs will also be supported in order to conduct animal food analyses.

B.3. WVDA LFFM 项目摘要/摘要 对于西方国家来说，我们喂养宠物和牲畜的食品的安全和质量至关重要 弗吉尼亚农业部。受化学污染的动物食品可能导致疾病或 杀死宠物和牲畜。这些污染物也可能进入人类食品供应 链，对人体健康造成危害。动物食品及其成分的质量也 重要的。它使消费者能够就他们喂养动物的内容做出明智的决定 并有助于确保宠物和牲畜获得营养需求。动物食品 产品测试是综合食品安全体系的一个组成部分。 西弗吉尼亚州农业监管和环境事务部 下设农资、乳品、食品化学、微生物学等六个实验室科室。 农药、种子。该项目中提出的工作将在我们的农业中进行 材料和农药实验室部分。在该项目的每一年，WVDA 都会分析 至少 500 个动物食品样品。分析类型每年都会发生变化 但将包括有毒金属、营养金属、霉菌毒素、碘、药物残留、草甘膦、 以及多重近似分析。 参与该项目的主要人员包括 Chemist III/Seed Joshua Arbaugh 分析师/显微镜师和技术主管； Margolite Cesar，研究化学家；托马斯·特鲁波, 化学家二级；克里斯·罗伊（Chris Roy），实验室助理。 WVDA 最近做出了承诺 需要数年时间来增加实验室人员，并计划对更多化学家进行面试。 到 2020 年，WVDA 化学实验室的认可范围将包括五种方法。 目前不在认证范围内的所有其他方法均遵循相同的 ISO/IEC 17025 质量体系、能力验证和能力要求。收到的资金通过 LFFM 将支持与维持认证相关的费用，例如设备 校准、预防性维护、评估、人员和培训差旅。 还将支持消耗品成本，以便进行动物食品分析。
