Abstract
On the basis of AOAC Official Method 973.18, a collaborative study was performed to determine fractions of acid detergent fiber (ADF) and lignin (ADL) in animal feed. The study used 6 animal feed and forage samples as blind duplicates and involved 22 participants from 7 countries. The samples analyzed covered a range from 3.5 to 70 ADF and from <1 to 20 ADL. Repeatability standard deviations ranged from 0.27 to 0.95 for ADF and from 0.08 to 0.59 for ADL. The reproducibility standard deviations ranged from 0.56 to 2.44 for ADF and from 0.52 to 2.09 for ADL. Analyzed samples comprised clover and grass silages, soy meal, cattle feed, wheat, and sawdust. The studied method has been published as the EN ISO 13906:2008 standard.

Abstract
Abstract
A method using immunoaffinity column chromatography (IAC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for determination of zearalenone in cereal grains, animal feed, and feed ingredients was collaboratively studied. The test portion is extracted by shaking with acetonitrilewater (90 + 10, v/v) and sodium chloride. The extract is diluted and applied to an immunoaffinity column, the column is washed with water or phosphatebuffered saline or methanolwater (30 + 70, v/v), and zearalenone is eluted with methanol. The eluate is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in mobile phase and analyzed by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection. The presence of zearalenone can be confirmed using an alternate excitation wavelength or diode array detection. Twenty samples were sent to 13 collaborators (8 in Europe, 2 in the United States, one in Japan, one in Uruguay, and one in Canada). Eighteen samples of naturally contaminated corn, barley, wheat, dried distillers grains, swine feed, and dairy feed were analyzed as blind duplicates, along with blank corn and wheat samples. The analyses were done in 2 sample sets with inclusion of a spiked wheat control sample (0.1 mg/kg) in each set. Spiked samples recoveries were 89116, and for the 18 naturally contaminated samples, RSDr values (within-laboratory repeatability) ranged from 6.67 to 12.1, RSDR values (among-laboratory reproducibility) ranged from 12.5 to 19.7, and HorRat values ranged from 0.61 to 0.90.
