1 st WorkshopXIII International Feed Technology SymposiumDETERMINATION OF CONSTITUENTS OF ANIMAL ORIGININ FEEDKsenija Nešić, Dobrila Jakić-Dimić, Nikola PavlovićInstitute <strong>of</strong> Veterinary Medicine <strong>of</strong> Serbia, Autoput 3, Belgrade, SerbiaABSTRACTSoon after the outbreak <strong>of</strong> BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) world crisis atheory <strong>of</strong> feed-born contamination through infected ruminant protein in meat <strong>and</strong> bonemeal (MBM) has been set up. Eradication has started immediately <strong>and</strong> legislation hasbeen established throughout the world to avoid MBM entering the feed chain. TotalMBM ban for all farm animals, except fish meal for non-ruminants, is applied in EUregulation. Legislation in our country comprises ban on MBM in feed for ruminants,while presence <strong>of</strong> these components is allowed in mixes for other animal species.With the aim to enforce the legislation <strong>and</strong> to detect cross-contamination, which meanspresence <strong>of</strong> unacceptable traces, the most appropriate method is optical microscopy. Thisis the only <strong>of</strong>ficial method in EU <strong>and</strong> it has been applied in Institute <strong>of</strong> VeterinaryMedicine <strong>of</strong> Serbia in Belgrade since 2006.During three years period (2006, 2007 <strong>and</strong> 2008) feed for ruminants, pigs <strong>and</strong> poultry,from the feed mills in central Serbia, were sent by veterinary inspectors to the Institute<strong>of</strong> Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade to be examined on presence <strong>of</strong> MBM. During thefirst year among total <strong>of</strong> 118 samples, 49 samples <strong>of</strong> feed for cattle were analysed <strong>and</strong> in6.12% constituents <strong>of</strong> animal origin were found, as well as in 25% <strong>of</strong> ovine feed, 25%swine <strong>and</strong> 32.14% <strong>of</strong> poultry mixes.Significantly more samples were analysed in year 2007. There were 579 samples in total,mostly bovine feed - 344, with similar result to that in previous year - 6.69% withpresence <strong>of</strong> MBM. But, percentages <strong>of</strong> positive samples <strong>of</strong> ovine feed (15.79%), swine(16%) <strong>and</strong> poultry feed (15.19%) were much lower than in year 2006, what is a clearindicator <strong>of</strong> good results <strong>and</strong> success <strong>of</strong> the program for feed control <strong>and</strong> education <strong>of</strong>manufacturers.During 2008 microscopic analysis on the presence <strong>of</strong> animal contaminants in 509samples <strong>of</strong> different mixtures was done. MBM was recorded in about 8% <strong>of</strong> samples <strong>of</strong>feed for cattle, although general trend <strong>of</strong> replacement <strong>of</strong> proteins <strong>of</strong> animal origin byother sources <strong>of</strong> proteins was more clearly observed.Although improvement in facilities for feed production is evident, yet upgrading criteriafor their work is still needed, as well as implementation <strong>of</strong> GMP <strong>and</strong> HACCP concept.Only multilevel monitoring <strong>of</strong> raw materials <strong>and</strong> final products is the way to ensure goodmanufacturing quality <strong>and</strong> consumer’s safety.Key words: feed, microscopy, BSEINTRODUCTIONSoon after the outbreak <strong>of</strong> BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) world crisis atheory <strong>of</strong> feed-born contamination through infected ruminant protein in meat <strong>and</strong> bone267
