Kontrola kvaliteta pregleda uzoraka mesa na prisustvo larvi Trichinella – iskustvo iz Srbije

U zemljama Evropske unije redovno se sprovode redovne kontrole kvaliteta pregleda uzoraka mesa na prisustvo larvi Trichinella (PT). U ovim ispitivanjima učestvuju sve laboratorije u kojima se koristi metod veštačke digestije mesa. Prvu ovakvu proveru u Srbiji uspešno je organizovao INEP 2017 godine. U narednim godinama redovno se sprovode ovakve kontrole. Tokom 2022 Fakultet veterinarske medicine uspešno je organizovao ovakvu kontrolu za laboratorije veterinarskih specijalističkih instituta, nekih stanica i klanica. Krajem 2022 INEP je od strane Ministarstva poljoprivrede šumarstva i vodoprivrede, Uprave za veterinu imenovan kao Nacionalna referentna laboratorija za otkrivanje trihinele u mesu životinja (NRLT). Tokom 2023 godine NRLT Srbije je organizovala novu kontrolu kvaliteta rada. Naša iskustva pokazuju da redovno učešće u eksternim kontrolama kvaliteta pregleda dovodi do postizanja boljih rezultata laboratorija kroz vreme i bolje zaštite potrošača. Potrebno je da sve laboratorije u Srbiji (koje se bave pregledom mesa na prisustvo larvi trihinela u mesu) ali i u okruženju učestvuju u ovakvim proverama najmanje jednom godišnje, kao i vanredno kad kod imaju novog člana tima. Takođe, poželjno je da sve ove laboratorije imaju referentni materijal (larve trihinela u alkoholu) i po potrebi zatraže probne uzorke radi treninga.
In the European Union countries regular quality controls (PT) are carried out for the examination of meat samples for the presence of Trichinella larvae. All laboratories that use the method of artificial digestion of meat participate in these tests. The first such control in Serbia was successfully organized by INEP in 2017. In the following years, such controls were carried out regularly. During 2022, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine successfully organized control for laboratories from veterinary specialist institutes, some veterinary stations and slaughterhouses. At the end of 2022, INEP was appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, Veterinary Directorate as the National Reference Laboratory for the detection of Trichinella in meat (NRLT). During 2023, NRLT organized a new quality control. Our experience shows that regular participation in external quality control leads to better laboratory results over time and better consumer protection. It is necessary that all laboratories in Serbia (which control meat for the presence of Trichinella larvae) and in the surrounding countries participate in such controls at least once a year, as well as aditionally when they have a new team member. Also, it is desirable that all these laboratories have a reference material (Trichinella larvae in alcohol) and, if necessary, request test samples for training purposes.
