Are You Familiar with AAFCO's Proficiency Testing Program?

AAFCO's Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) helps regulatory, industry, and commercial feed labs ensure accurate results that are in line with international standards at a low cost.

Proficiency testing rounds are distributed on a set schedule and analyzed by each lab for specific analytes using specified AAFCO method codes and units. Results are statistically evaluated, and labs receive performance scores for each analyte and method reported.
