Grass seed samples in the Endophyte Service Laboratory being tested for the toxin lolitrem B

Quality assurance officers from the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) recently conducted a third party  review of the OSU Endophyte Service Laboratory. The review was conducted using the ISO 17025 standard as a reference guide. The results of the review concluded that the laboratory was adhering to its stated quality system. The laboratory tests livestock feed materials for ergovaline, lolitrem B and ergot alkaloids for grass seed producers, veterinarians, as well as straw exporters. Straw exporters ship ~33,000 containers of compressed straw from the Pacific Northwest to the Pacific Rim countries of Japan, Korea and Taiwan annually. Dr. A. Morrie Craig is the director of the Endophyte Service Laboratory.
