<strong>Nitra</strong> in <strong>ICAR</strong> interlaboratory studiesSince 1996, two interlaboratory studies have been carried out each year.They are organised by the French organisation CECALAIT (Centre d‘Étudeet de Controle des Analyses en Industrie Laitiére) that operates under theumbrella of <strong>ICAR</strong>. During the past ten years CECALAIT, as an associatio<strong>no</strong>f dairy laboratories, has developed and offered dairy laboratories servicesto optimise their performance and help in improving their quality systems.Table 1 Statistical treatment of the results concerning proficiency interlaboratorystudy.Fat (g/kg)Protein (g/kg)Limit IDF RIAP lab.

Two trials werescheduled on March and September. Whole milk samples, preserved bybro<strong>no</strong>pol, were sent by international delivery express carrier in isolatedboxes with ice, with dispatching delay 1 to 3 days. According to ourregistration we received:250Conference on "Physiological and technicalaspects of machine milking"
