项目总结/摘要 宾夕法尼亚州农业部植物产业局促进饲料和食品 通过合规教育、执行规章制度、调查 与饲料有关的投诉、动物饲料的例行抽样和饲料的例行检查 设施 根据农业部植物工业局的AFRPS实施建议和 食品安全局实验室司提出的ISO认证计划，饲料计划需要 合作协议包括： 1.制定一种方法来评估饲料计划的法律的权威，以确保 保护人类和动物的健康。 2.制定饲料检验员培训课程，支持AFRPS要求 以及我们基于风险的检查计划的需求，以确保知识，技能和 饲料检验人员的能力。 3.建立一个系统，以确定基于风险的检查工作计划， 检查和调查程序。 4.建立一种方法来评估我们的饲料检验培训能力， 和办公程序，以验证我们的培训课程的有效性。 5.设计一种与其他机构沟通的方式和一种传播方式 在发生与饲料相关的紧急情况和跨部门事件时提供信息。 6.制定书面政策和程序，概述我们的饲料计划的执行情况 战略布局 7.创建和启动全州范围内的教育推广有关饲料的主题，其中包括 培训活动和监管机构、行业、学术界和 消费者。 8.创建一种方法来评估执行例行馈送工作所需的资源， 为了确保饲料计划有足够的支持，以实现目标， 工作计划。 9.标准化样品采集程序，确保与饲料保持一致 方案的优先事项。 10.确保实验室程序与美国协会一致 饲料控制官员（AAFCO）质量保证/质量控制指南，并符合 ISO/IEC 17025：2005的管理和技术要求，以保证 有效和有根据的实验室测试数据，以保护人类和动物的健康。 11.设计一个审查系统，以确保根据每个 标准，以便实施必要的改进。 饲料计划和实验室计划的实施和持续改进， 通过AFRPS的程序将有助于宾夕法尼亚州和食品和药物管理局 美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）更好地指导监管活动，以防止饲料生产 合规问题和增加美国的食品安全。

Project Summary/Abstract The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Industry promotes feed and food safety through compliance education, enforcement of rules and regulations, investigation of feed-related complaints, routine sampling of animal feeds and routine inspection of feed facilities. Based on the Department’s Bureau of Plant Industry’s AFRPS Implementation proposal and the Bureau of Food Safety, Lab Division’s proposed ISO accreditation plan, the feed program needs for the cooperative agreement include: 1. Develop a means to evaluate the Feed Program’s legal authority to ensure the protection of the health of man and animals. 2. Craft a feed inspector training course curriculum, supporting the AFRPS requirements and the needs of our risk-based inspection program to ensure the knowledge, skills and abilities of feed inspection staff. 3. Construct a system to determine a risk-based inspection workplan and adequate inspection and investigation protocol. 4. Establish a means to evaluate our feed inspection training competencies, for both field and office procedures, to verify the effectiveness of our training curriculum. 5. Design a means to communicate with other agencies and a way to disseminate information in times of feed-related emergencies and cross-sector events. 6. Develop written policies and procedures that outline our Feed Program’s enforcement strategies. 7. Create and launch statewide educational outreach about feed topics which incorporates training activities and open communication between regulators, industry, academia and the consumer. 8. Create a means to evaluate the necessary resources to perform routine feed work in order to assure the Feed Program has adequate support to meet the goals of the workplan. 9. Standardize procedures for sample collection to ensure alignment with the Feed Program’s priorities. 10. Ensure the alignment of the laboratory procedures with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Quality Assurance/Quality Control guidelines and meet the managerial and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 in order to guarantee valid and defensible laboratory testing data to protect the health of man and animals. 11. Design a review system to ensure periodic assessment of the feed program per each Standard in order to implement necessary improvement. The implementation and continuous improvement of the feed program and laboratory plans and procedures through the AFRPS will assist both Pennsylvania and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to better direct regulatory activities toward preventing feed manufacturing compliance issues and increasing food safety in the United States.
