IDALS LFFM Micorbiology Animal Food Product Testing

项目摘要微生物学-动物食品 生产安全、高质量的商业饲料和谷物对维持爱荷华州的 牲畜库存，包括爱荷华州在全国排名第一的猪和蛋鸡， 奶山羊，并在牛和小牛饲料。根据饲料教育研究所和 研究（IFEEDER），一个由美国饲料工业协会成立的非营利组织，爱荷华州领导了 中国的动物性食品消费总量超过2100万吨（IFEEDER，2017）。在任何一天， 超过1亿头牲畜在爱荷华州农场食用饲料（USDA，2019）。肉，牛奶， 产自爱荷华州牲畜的鸡蛋在全国和世界各地都有消费，这使得 爱荷华州动物饲料的质量对人类食品安全至关重要，例如，2018年爱荷华州出口 根据爱荷华州经济发展局（IEDA，2019）的数据，猪肉产品出口到33个国家。 饲料中的化学和生物污染物可能会在产肉动物的组织和脂肪中积累， 动物随着污染物沿着食物链向上移动，污染物的危害可能是 放大了动物饲料安全还包括一种特殊动物--宠物的食品。宠物疾病 由受污染食物引起的食物中毒，往往会引起大量的消费者投诉， 大量媒体报道。爱荷华州有20个宠物食品加工设施， 宠物食品中的添加剂（IFEEDER，2020）。250份宠物食品和宠物零食 样品将在整个爱荷华州的零售店购买。这些样本将进行沙门氏菌检测， 蜡状芽孢杆菌毒素和金黄色葡萄球菌毒素。250只反刍动物饲料将被 通过检测反刍动物DNA， 显微镜IDALS一直在测试反刍动物饲料中的违禁物质和宠物食品， 自2010年以来，根据FDA的合作协议或合同， 我们希望继续这种富有成果的伙伴关系。

Project Summary Microbiology – Animal Food The production of safe, high quality commercial feeds and grain is critical for maintaining Iowa’s livestock inventory, including Iowa’s first in the nation ranking in hogs and egg-laying chickens, third in milk goats, and forth in cattle and calves feed. According to the Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER), a non-profit founded by the American Feed Industry Associates, Iowa leads the nation with over 21 million tons of total animal food consumed (IFEEDER, 2017). On any given day, there are over 100 million livestock animals consuming feed on Iowa farms (USDA, 2019). The meat, milk and eggs produced from Iowa livestock are consumed across the nation and around the world, which makes the quality of Iowa animal feeds vital to human food safety, as well, For example, in 2018 Iowa exported pork products to 33 countries according to Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA, 2019). Chemical and Biological contaminants in feed may accumulate in the tissue and fat of meat-producing animals. As the contaminants move up the food chain, the hazard from the contaminant can be magnified. Animal feed safety also includes food for a special subset of animals—pets. Pet illnesses caused by contaminated food tend to generate a high number of consumer complaints and attract a significant amount of media coverage. Iowa has 20 pet food facilities processing over 490,000 tons of ingredients into pet food every year (IFEEDER, 2020). Two hundred and fifty pet food and pet treat samples will be purchased at retails stores throughout Iowa. The samples will be tested for Salmonella, Bacillus cereus toxin, and Staphylococcal aureus toxins. Two hundred and fifty ruminant feeds will be sampled and tested for violations of the ruminant feed ban by testing for ruminant DNA and by microscopy. IDALS has been testing ruminant feed for prohibited material and pet foods and treats for microbiological pathogens and toxins under an FDA cooperative agreements or contracts since 2010. We hope to continue this fruitful partnership.
