“…With respect to mycotoxins, the ingredients should clearly state the quantity of cereals present with an indication of approximate levels of the most commonly occurring mycotoxins. Clear rules of engagement should be provided for storage of feeds (open and closed bags), and the implementation of HACCP principles in feed manufacture will improve the quality of the end product (Horchner & Pointon 2011 ). Further studies concerning the use of AF-free transgenic maize (Thakare et al 2017 ) together with improved processing and packaging technology may provide a possible answer to our questions.…”

Dry pelleted dog food in the South African market is available via supermarkets, pet stores (standard brands [SBs]) and veterinary channels (premium brands [PBs]). For the purpose of this study, the supermarket channel included the cheaper quality foods and PBs were sold via the veterinary channel (n = 20). These feeds were analysed for four main mycotoxins (aflatoxins [AF], fumonisin [FB], ochratoxin A [OTA] and zearalenone [ZEA]) using standard well-described extraction, characterisation and quantitation processes. Irrespective of the brand or marketing channel, all foods were contaminated with fungi (mainly Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus parasiticus) and mycotoxins (most prevalent being aflatoxins and fumonisins). This was observed in all 20 samples irrespective of the marketing channel or perceived quality. Also, many samples within each marketing channel failed the 10 ppb limit for aflatoxin set by regulations in South Africa. Although fumonisin was detected in all samples, a single sample failed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limit of 100 ppb. Both OTA and ZEA were found at low concentrations and were absent in some samples. This study suggested that higher priced dog food does not ensure superior quality or that it is free from contamination with fungi or mycotoxins. However, analysis of the more expensive PBs did reveal contamination concentrations lower than those of the SBs.

“…Efficient quality control can be achieved through Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems, to identify, evaluate and control significant hazards, focusing on prevention rather than on inspective or corrective measures (Codex Committee on Food Hygiene, 2009). Initially, HACCP systems were employed in food industries (Ropkins and Beck 2000;Lupin et al 2010;Wang et al 2010;Vilar et al 2012) and for farm health management (Rose et al 2003;Spexoto et al 2005;Bell et al 2009;Horchner and Pointon 2011). Subsequently, critical control points and risk management strategies determined by field data (Dijkhuizen et al 1997;Hulebak and Schlosser 2002) were used to expand the HACCP concepts to other areas of interest.…”

Bull semen production centres (SPC) generally present satisfactory quality control for sperm processing, but non-standardized hygiene procedures. This study describes a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system developed for bull SPC and subsequently implemented in a commercial SPC. After the identification of hazards at each step of semen processing and the determination of their risk and severity, monitoring and corrective procedures were designed to assess the system's efficiency. The HACCP system identified six microbiological hazards, 10 physical hazards, four chemical hazards and three critical control points. After the establishment of Good Processing Practices, Standard Operating Procedures and Standard Sanitizing Operating Procedures, the system was validated through an audit, to identify eventual failures and to define measures to correct them.

“…Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) concepts are applied as quality control systems, using field data to identify critical hazards, generating and testing risk management strategies (Hulebak and Schlosser, 2002) and establishing preventive measures that are usually more efficient than corrective measures (Codex Committee on Food Hygiene, 2009). Although such decision-support systems were primarily applied for animal health management (Rose et al, 2003;Bell et al, 2009;Horchner and Pointon, 2011) and in the food industry (Ropkins and Beck, 2000;Lupin et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010), strategies based on HACCP concepts have been also applied in other fields.…”

The implementation of a HACCP system improved the efficiency of a bull semen collection and processing center

Bull Semen Collection and Processing Centers (SCPC) have satisfactory control of sperm quality, but commonly lack standardized quality control of hygiene procedures. This study assessed the impact of implementing a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system in a bull SCPC, comparing microbial counts on various steps of semen processing, semen quality and costs across two periods (before and after the HACCP implementation). After surveying all routine activities of the SCPC, control points were identified, preventive measures were designed and corrective actions were employed, whenever necessary. Six months after HACCP implementation, the system was audited and production data covering two similar periods of two consecutive years were compared. Counts of colony forming units in samples collected from artificial vaginas, flexible tubes from the straw filling machine and from fresh and frozen semen after HACCP implementation were lower than during the previous period (P < 0.05). Improved post-thawing sperm motility, membrane integrity and acrosome integrity (P < 0.0001) and reduced rejection of semen batches and frozen doses were observed after HACCP implementation (P < 0.01), resulting in reduced opportunity costs. Thus, the implementation of a HACCP system in a bull SCPC allowed low-cost production of high-quality semen doses with reduced microbial contamination.
