Beyond the Lab: A Quality Manager’s Guide to Audit Evidence and Feed Testing Readiness

Feed testing programs may function well in the lab, but audit readiness depends on how clearly testing data connects to supplier controls, certification requirements, and documented risk management. This guide helps Quality Managers identify system gaps, strengthen evidence trails, and align microbiology testing with defensible audit performance.

Microbiology testing programs often operate effectively at the laboratory level. Yet during audits, certification renewals, or market access reviews, Quality Managers frequently encounter a different challenge: demonstrating how testing data connects to supplier controls, certification requirements, and defensible audit evidence.

This guide explores how fragmented systems, rather than missing controls, can create documentation gaps, extended audits, and unnecessary pressure during peak season. It provides a structured framework for aligning testing data with production controls, supplier oversight, and certification expectations.

Inside this guide, you will learn:

  • Why testing data alone does not guarantee audit readiness
  • How disconnected systems weaken evidence trails
  • What auditors evaluate when reviewing testing programs
  • How to structure testing, supplier, and certification data into one coherent system
  • Practical diagnostic questions to assess your current readiness

For Quality Managers responsible for audit performance, certification confidence, and defensible risk control, this guide offers a clear perspective on how testing supports broader compliance strategy.
