This chapter reviews techniques for detecting viral pathogens in animal feed products and manufacturing surfaces. It begins by providing a brief history of viral pathogens in animal feed ingredients. The chapter then moves on to provide an overview of current applications of diagnostic sampling and analysis in animal feed production. This is followed by a review of the challenges in detecting viral pathogens. A section on the different categories of detection methods is also provided, followed by an overview of the practices than can be used for sample collection and analysis. The chapter also describes best practices for sample collection, analysis and interpretation, then provides examples of utility to improve biosecurity programs.
