SAFEED-PAP

Context

Since the earliest case of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic was first confirmed in the United Kingdom in 1987, strict legislation was set up year after year. This has been done taking into account new scientific and epidemiologic evidences showing that meat and bone meal are the most probable vector of the disease, in order to eradicate BSE in Europe. Nowadays, the European Commission has come to the stage that amendments of certain measures could be envisaged, without endangering the health or the policy of eradicating BSE, provided that the positive trend continues and scientific conditions are in place. The scientific conditions to complete regarding the amendments of the total feed ban include the development and validation of analytical methods and tools for the detection of the presence of species-specific animal proteins in animal feed. Actually, the existing methods do not allow species-specific identification and lead to the impossibility to lift the total ban. The SAFEED-PAP project aims to complete the scientific conditions that should allow the repealing of the extended feed ban.

Objectives

The SAFEED-PAP project has three main objectives that should lead to solve the problematic of the species specific detection of animal proteins in compound feeds: (i) Development and validation of suitable methods for the species specific detection and quantification of animal protein in compound feed in order to allow the amendment of the extended total ban; (ii) Development of tools and analytical kits for the correct implementation of the methods in the labs; (iii) To set up the appropriate environment for the optimum application of the methods.

Description of tasks

To achieve these strategic objectives, 7 work packages (WP) have been defined. - WP1 - Coordination and Management of the project - WP2 - Improvement and validation of test kits - WP3 - Development of confirmatory methods using HPLC or MS/MS - WP4 - Development of methods for the quantitative detection and for the species-specific quantitative identification of animal particles by NIRM Microscopy and PCR technics - WP5 - Improvement of the official method and development of a screening method for the control laboratories - WP6 - Validation of methods and feasibility study for the production of certified reference materials - WP7 - Transfer, utilisation and dissemination of results

Contribution

The CRA-W has in charge the coordination and management of the project. The CRA-W is also the work package leader for WP2 and takes part in WP4, WP6 and WP7.

Partners

The SAFEED-PAP consortium coordinated by the CRA-W includes 13 partners (research institutes, universities, private and official control laboratories and SME). The SAFEED-PAP consortium includes European leader research teams involved in the development of analytical methods for the detection of animal proteins and the proper implementation of the method: CRA-W Centre wallon de Recherches agronomiques (Belgium) VLA Veterinary Laboratories Agency (United Kingdom) UCO University of Córdoba (Spain) RIKILT Institute of food safety (The Netherlands) EC-JRC-IRMM European Communities – Directorate General Joint Research Centre – Institute for Reference materials and measurements (Belgium) PDIR Danish Plant Directorate (Denmark) CSL Central Science Laboratory (United Kingdom) FLVVT Federal laboratory for Food and Feed Safety (Belgium) NVL National Veterinary Laboratory of Lithuania (Lithuania) UMIL University of Milan (Italy) CCL Research (The Netherlands) DGO Diagenode S.A (Belgium) CAHEC - China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center (China)
