NFAS 02/2012 February 2012 To: ALL ACCREDITED AND SUSPENDED FEEDLOTS AMENDMENT TO THE NFAS RULES & STANDARDS ­ 2011 PURPOSE: The purpose of this NFAS Advice is to inform Accredited Feedlots and Feedlots in Voluntary Suspension that the Feedlot Industry Accreditation Committee (FLIAC) has approved an amendment to the NFAS Rules and Standards ­ 2011. The amendment identifies"Approved Standard Methodologies" which may be used to determine the metabolizable energy (ME) in feedlot rations. BACKGROUND: FLIAC have become aware of discrepancies in test results for metabolizable energy (ME) in feedlot rations using various analytical methodologies. As a result, FLIAC initiated an evaluation of the various methodologies used by analytical laboratories in determining metabolizable energy (ME) to establish "Approved Standard Methodologies" which will give comparable and repeatable test results. This evaluation was conducted by ALFA and AUS-MEAT. Based on this evaluation FLIAC has determined that: 1. the "Approved Standard Methodologies for the estimation of metabolizable energy are NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) and Wet Chemistry; and 2. for the Wet Chemistry method the Approved Calculation for metabolizable energy (ME) which must be used is: ME (MJ/Kg DM) = 0.12xCP + 0.31xEE+0.05xCF+0.14xNFE Any other methods used for ME calculation will require written approval by FLIAC. AMENDMENT TO THE STANDARD The NFAS Standards are amended as follows ELEMENT PI2 - FEEDLOT RATIONS OUTCOME: Feeding standards of the AUS-MEAT Minimum Standards for Grain Fed Beef (Refer Appendix 4) and other feeding Standards are met. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS: 1. Ration analysis records are maintained, which, in the opinion of AUS-MEAT, confirm the average metabolizable energy (ME) content of the fed ration in accordance with the following criteria: a) ration analysis for ME must be conducted using the Approved Standard Methodologies for the estimation of metabolizable energy which are NIRS and Wet Chemistry. In the case of Wet Chemistry the Approved Calculation for metabolizable energy (ME): ME (MJ/Kg DM) = 0.12xCP + 0.31xEE + 0.05xCF + 0.14xNFE; b) any other methods used for ME calculation must be approved in writing by FLIAC; c) ration analysis must be available for the feedlot's principle rations with the mo st current test having been performed within three (3) months of the assigned Audit Cluster Period; d) where a feedlot mixes their own ration, a typical analysis (formulation estimate) is not acceptable evidence of a ration's compliance with ME requirements of the AUS-MEAT Minimum Standards of Grain Fed Beef; where a commercial ration is utilized a specification or letter of conformity must be retained to demonstrate compliance with ME requirements of the AUS-MEAT Minimum Standard for Grain Fed Beef; e) where ration analysis records which confirm the average ME content of the fed ration are not maintained, AUS-MEAT will obtain a sample of the as-fed ration for independent analysis at a NATA approved stock feed testing laboratory. The cost of ration analysis will be borne by the Feedlot. Failure of Feedlot management to permit a sample of feed to be taken shall be recorded in the Audit report and brought to the attention of FLAIC. 2. Feed fed to Cattle does not contain animal products with the exception of exemptions that may be applied from time to time by statutory authorities. 3. When rations are mixed at the Feedlot staff are aware of the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice for Home-mixed Feeds (SCA 1991) and a copy should be available at the Feedlot. Although not a mandatory Code, this Code provides a reference of industry best practice. APPLICATION This amendment will come into effective from receipt of this advice. ACTION REQUIRED 1. Ensure that rations are analysed by NATA accredited laboratories using an Approved Methodology i.e. either NIR or Wet Chemistry; and 2. Ensure the Approved Calculation for metabolizable energy (ME) is used by the NATA accredited analytical laboratory i.e. ME (MJ/Kg DM) = 0.12xCP + 0.31xEE + 0.05xCF + 0.14xNFE.

FACT SHEET ELASTANE ­ THE WONDER FIBRE What is Elastane? Elastane fibres are long, polymeric chains made from polyurethane. Their stretch and recovery properties depend on the construction of this chain. An elastane chain contains "hard" segments alternating with "soft" segments, where the hard segments do not stretch easily and the soft segments are readily extensible. The soft highly extensible segments can stretch more than three times their original length. An elastane fibre has at least 85% of its molecular chain made from these soft segments. What Other Names Does Elastane Get Called? Elastane fibres were originally called synthetic rubber. Spandex and Lycra are both commercial names that are most likely recognised by consumers. Where is Elastane Used? Elastane yarns are used widely today in both woven and knitted fabrics. A minor elastane component of 1-5% is common in these applications. Added comfort and fit make elastomeric fabrics a popular consumer choice. Application Problems Elastane filaments can retract from the garment seams, allowing free filament ends to protrude from the fabric surface. The length of free filament can range from short stubby ends to strands up to 20 mm long, giving an unsightly appearance. Elastane failure is complex and there are a number of issues to consider. Its stretch properties has allowed consumers to wear a `size too small' and this often contributes to product failure. It is the skill of the garment manufacturer and fabric choice that is relied upon to use the correct type of elastane. Knitwear for instance requires different amounts of stretch to that used in a woven fabric. The elastomeric portion has to stretch at the same rate as the other fibres and then it has to come back to the original dimensions when the load is released. Identifying the Cause or Potential for Problems NZWTA conducts a variety of tests on fabrics which include elastane. Tests are able to measure extensibility properties in order to determine the potential for a future problem in a garment. Likewise NZWTA's skilled and experienced staff can provide information on likely causes after garment damage has been sustained. These causes may be quite diverse depending on the construction of the garment, its typical use and how the garment has been cleaned.
