A sample of processed animal protein to be submitted to a laboratory for testing in accordance with the methods set out in Part II of this Schedule shall be obtained by the methods described in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Part of this Schedule.
(1) Sample portion shall be the total load or throughput—either bulk or bags | Number of incremental samples of approximately equal proportions which shall be extracted evenly throughout the sampled portion | Number of aggregate samples which shall be obtained by pooling a relevant number of incremental samples | |
| A. Loose animal protein | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tonne | 7 | 1 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 1.1–2.5 tonnes | 7 | 2 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 2.6–10 tonnes | √20 × size of sampled portion | 2 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 10.1–40 tonnes | √20 × size of sampled portion | 3 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| over 40 tonnes | √20 × size of sampled portion | 4 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| (maximum—40 incremental samples) | |||
| B. Bagged animal protein | |||
| 1–16 bags | 4 | 1 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 17–200 bags | √no of bags in sampled portion | 2 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 201–800 bags | √no of bags in sampled portion | 3 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| over 800 bags | √no of bags in sampled portion | 4 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| (maximum—40 incremental samples) | |||
The final sample shall be obtained by the extraction of an approximately equal amount of the sampled portion from each aggregate sample so as to provide a single final sample of approximately 500 grams. This final sample shall be transferred into a suitable sterile wide-mouthed, screw top polypropylene container sealed and marked to indicate the name and address of the premises and the date of sampling.
(2) Sample portion shall be the total quantity of supplies consigned from the premises or incorporated in a feeding stuff on the day in question | Number of incremental samples of approximately equal proportions which shall be extracted evenly throughout the sampled portion | Number of aggregate samples which shall be obtained by pooling a relevant number of incremental samples | |
| Loose or bagged animal protein | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–5 consignments | 1 per consignment | 1 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 6–10 consignments | 1 per consignment | 2 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| 11–15 consignments | 1 per consignment | 3 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
| Over 15 consignments | 1 per consignment | 4 | Aggregate sample shall be placed into separate sterile receptacle and each shall be thoroughly mixed by stirring or shaking |
(For the purpose of this paragraph “consignment” means the total quantity of processed animal protein loaded onto a single vehicle or trailer for movement to other premises or for movement to a place for incorporation in a feeding stuff).
The final sample shall be obtained by the extraction of an approximately equal amount of the sampled portion from each aggregate sample so as to provide a single final sample of approximately 500 grams. This final sample shall be transferred into a suitable sterile wide-mouthed, screw top polypropylene container sealed and marked to indicate the name and address of the premises and the date of sampling.
