Sample Collection Procedures

Performed by the Veterinarian/authorized representative

1. Verify the animal with the owner. Identify any tattoos, ear tags, ear notches that are on the animal. Whenever possible use USDA official

identification vs. farm identification. Be sure to include this information on the “Sample Tag”.

2. Open the sample case by breaking the seal, and noting the seal number.

3. Immediately record the seal # in the top right box of the Sample Transmittal Packing List (see attached form with kit).

4. Verify that each individual sample container has an intact “Security Seal”.

5. Present the container for examination to the representative (exhibitor) of the animal you are about to test. If the container is rejected for any

reason, use another container and return the defective one to the laboratory.

6. Open the container by pressing upward on the tab marked open, breaking the seal.

7. Place the container in a catching stick; fold the lid back and anchor it under the metal finger welded to the handle.

8. After collecting the sample, close the lid and snap it completely shut. Loop the barbed plastic strip on the sample container through the two

holes in the container tabs and pull snug. Apply a short piece of evidence tape across the lid and down sides of the container.

NOTE: An example of a properly sealed and labeled container is included with the provided supplies.

NOTE: If a urine sample cannot be obtained, a Michigan Licensed Veterinarian/Veterinarian Technician may collect five tubes of blood. Each

tube of blood must be identified with the tag number/barcode provided on the “Sample Tag”. Seal all the labeled blood tubes inside a plastic

sample container as described below.

9. Complete the information on a “Sample Tag” substituting the name of the fair for “Track”, the name of the animal (Grand Champion Steer,

Reserve Champion Steer, etc.) for “Horse” and the ear tag number or other unique identification number or “Tattoo”. Have the representative

of the animal sign under “Witness” after they watch the sample sealing.

10. Place one large sticker tag on the top of the container and the other large sticker tag on the side of the container. The bottom part of the

“Sample Tag” must be kept in a secure manner for cross-reference when test results are reported. DO NOT send the bottom part of the

“Sample Tag” to the lab.

11. Lock the sealed and labeled sample container in a metal can. Once the can is locked it cannot be opened until it reaches the lab.

12. Samples must be held secure and cold until transferred to the laboratory. Note: urine can be kept frozen, blood must be kept refrigerated

and never frozen.

13. Any discarded needles (“sharps”) should be placed in an approved “Sharps” container by the veterinarian/veterinarian technician.

14. When all samples collection has been completed fill out the “Sample Transmittal Packing List. The packing list must identify by tag

number all samples included in the case in which it is enclosed. Enclosed the completed “Sample Transmittal Packing List”, any unused

supplies and regenerated/re-frozen freezer packs in the case and seal it with the provided intact case seal.
