Feed Method Prioritization survey now available

The 2008 AOAC Feed Method Prioritization survey is now available on the AAFCO Laboratory Committee public page on FoodSHIELD.

The AOAC Feed Method Prioritization survey is used by the Laboratory Services/Feed Additives and Contaminants Committees to identify which methods are most important for collaborative study trials that eventually lead to official feed methods within AOAC.  The survey also provides the group with valuable information on the importance of the different method need areas. 

Method prioritization only occurs every 2 years, so this is your chance (the users, creators and developers of analytical methods) to let us know which methods and areas of need are of priority to you.  Please take the time to fill out the survey and e-mail it back to: pricea@inspection.gc.ca. 

Results from the survey will be presented at the AAFCO meeting Aug. 2 - 4 in Nashville, Tennessee and as such all completed surveys must be received by July 25.  Thank-you very much in advance for your time in completing this survey.
