A 
 Excellent
B 
 Good
C 
 Satisfactory
F 
 Non-compliant
P 
 Justifiable Reason
 

Grade A or Excellent compliance means there is a very close correlation between submitted results and wet chemistry results (a z-score of less than 1). Grade B or Good compliance means there is close correlation with minor variations which can be fully explained (a z-score of 1-2). Grade C or Satisfactory compliance means that there is some correlation between submitted and wet chemistry results with some larger variations which require further investigation and potential corrective actions to improve. Grade F or Non-compliant status means that there is a large variation between results submitted and wet chemistry (a z-score of greater than 3).  Grade F can also reflect that no data was submitted by a member laboratory for that month’s Proficiency Test. Grade P is awarded if there is a Justifiable Reason why results have not been submitted by group members. Awarded at the discretion of the Group Technical Secretary, this occurs only in the event of an unforeseen circumstance such as equipment failure, damage to laboratory etc

The new season of the FAA Group Proficiency Testing began in September with a round of grass silage samples.
An overall performance level of 94% A or B grades was achieved with just one lab unable to submit samples for the round. This is a very good start to the season with this figure being made up of 69% A grade and 25% B grade.
There were no C or F grades in either the overall performance or on the individual parameters of Dry Matter, Crude Protein and Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF).
With the importance of reliable forage analysis coming into winter feeding times, these results provide confidence to farmers and feed advisers as they prepare rations.
