 Mandate of the Laboratory:

 LANAGRO-SP is an Official Laboratory of MAPA - Ministry of   Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. It is to support, through   laboratory analysis, the inspection actions and monitoring programs   of the SDA - Agriculture and Livestock Defense Secretariat.

 Role in the farm-to-fork chain:

 The main role is to support MAPA’s policies such as to coordinate   and monitor technical studies, science and technology, analytical   tests and actions by trace, control, monitoring and evaluation   processes relating to the safety and quality of animal and vegetal   origin products, and animal health.

 National Reference Laboratory:

   Yes. LANAGRO-SP is an OIE reference laboratory for avian     influenza  and Newcastle disease diagnosis. As a national l   laboratory,  LANAGRO-SP also acts according to the MAPA’s policies   in official inspection programs, analysing products of animal origin,   animal feed, beverages, fertilizers, avian vaccines, anti- rabies   vaccines, veterinary drugs, pesticides and samples for avian   diagnosis, in order to ensure the safety and quality of the product for   domestic market, exporting and importing operations. Besides that,   LANAGRO- SP is reference laboratory to the PNCRC – National   Program for Residues and Contaminants Control, processing   samples of meat (poultry, cattle, swine, equine, and fish) and milk,   for exportation, importation and national trade. Other activities   includes the participation on audits in private laboratories of the   MAPA’s Network laboratories and research, development and   validation of laboratory methods.
