项目摘要

Abstract Texas Food Defense and Animal Food Product Testing for Microbiological, Chemical and Radiological Hazards, Genome Sequencing, and Special Project Tracks The Office of the Texas State Chemist (OTSC) is comprised of the state agency authorized to regulate animal food (Texas Feed and Fertilizer Control Service (FFCS) and an ISO 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (Agricultural Analytical Service (AAS)), which analyzes regulatory samples for FFCS, the Food and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture. OTSC provides regulatory oversight for 5000 firms that manufacture feed with locations in Texas, the United States (US) and abroad and distribution of 23 million tons of feed in Texas. OTSC serves a large animal population including approximately 900,000 dairy cows, 5 million cattle on feed, 12.6 million cows and calves, 21 million layers, and 115 million broilers along with 12 million dogs and cats, 500,000 equids, and 1.5 million sheep and goats. AAS laboratory personnel include 12 analysts, four laboratory attendants, three PhD research scientists/lead chemists, one laboratory quality manager and one laboratory associate director. The laboratory is organized into four teams that specialize in microbiology, chromatography/mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and radiochemistry. FFCS regulatory personnel include 14 field investigators, a manager of accounting, operations manager for registration and labeling, an associate director of compliance and an associate director of field operations. In this project. OTSC will strengthen food defense capability in the areas of microbiology, chemistry, and radiochemistry; expand surveillance of microbiological and chemical hazards, expand involvement in whole genome sequencing, develop and validate new methods and participate in all laboratory flexible funding model program activities and meet reporting requirements. As an outcome of this project, OTSC will expanded capacity and capabilities of the Texas animal food testing laboratory in support of an integrated food safety system in the disciplines of microbiology, chemistry and radiochemistry in food defense, animal food microbiological and chemical product testing, whole genome sequencing, capability/capacity development, and special project tracks

抽象的德克萨斯州食品防御和动物食品微生物、化学和放射危害、基因组测序和特殊项目轨道德克萨斯州化学家办公室 (OTSC) 由授权的州机构组成监管动物食品（德克萨斯州饲料和肥料控制服务局 (FFCS) 和 ISO 17025:2017 认可的实验室（农业分析服务（AAS）），分析法规 FFCS、食品和药物管理局和美国卫生部的样品农业。 OTSC 为 5000 家生产饲料的公司提供监管监督德克萨斯州、美国 (US) 和国外的地点以及 2300 万吨饲料的分销在德克萨斯州。 OTSC 服务于大量动物种群，包括约 900,000 头奶牛、5 100 万头饲料牛、1260 万头奶牛和小牛、2100 万只蛋鸡和 1.15 亿只肉鸡还有 1200 万只狗和猫、50 万匹马、150 万只绵羊和山羊。原子吸收光谱法实验室人员包括12名分析师、4名实验室服务员、3名博士研究人员科学家/首席化学家、一名实验室质量经理和一名实验室副主任。该实验室分为四个专门研究微生物学的团队，色谱/质谱、元素分析和放射化学。 FFCS监管人员包括 14 名现场调查员、一名会计经理、一名运营经理注册和标签、合规副总监和现场副总监运营。在这个项目中。 OTSC 将加强以下领域的食品防御能力微生物学、化学和放射化学；扩大微生物监测化学危害，扩大全基因组测序的参与，开发和验证新的方法并参与所有实验室灵活资助模式计划活动并满足报告要求。作为该项目的成果，OTSC 将扩大产能并德克萨斯州动物食品检测实验室支持综合食品安全的能力食品防御、动物、微生物学、化学和放射化学等学科体系食品微生物和化学产品检测、全基因组测序、能力/能力发展和特殊项目轨道
