MICROBILOGY ABSTRACT The Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory proposes one microbiology discipline project for analytical track 3. This project is comprised of the analyses of 100 samples to improve animal food testing surveillance through the microbiological analysis of animal food products. The test results generated by the proposed projects can be used to remove adulterated animal food from commerce and aide regulatory inspection programs in conducting investigations. Under microbiology analytical track 3: animal food product testing, the microbiology section of the Laboratory plans to assess 100 samples of dry pet food for Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and coliform counts using Vidas, Vitek, BAX, and Tempo technologies.
