In the 1990s, due to BSE risks control, the use of animal meals (PAPs) in zootechnical nutrition was strictly prohibited. This measure was very effective and BSE in cattle was eradicated. Hence, in 2013 the European Commission decided to allow again the use of PAPs, with the exclusion of those obtained from ruminants (cattle and sheep), in the preparation of feed. In June 2021 amendment, the regulation on the use of PAPs allowed new uses but banned intra-species recycling. To enforce these rules the EU reference laboratory for animal proteins in feed (EURL-AP) validated three qPCR diagnostic protocols detecting any ruminant, pork, and poultry material in feed. This kit is assembled using one of the mastermixes prescribed by EURL-AP method and high quality oligos and probes to detect the target PAP. Each lot is quality controlled to match the specifications requested by the EURL-AP method.
