Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center


2Quality Assurance Programs (QA)

• designed by • producers & food industry affiliates

• To Provide … production management education– Targets defect prevention … emphasis is SAFETY– Chemical, Physical & Biological safety defects/hazards

• Consumers Confidence in Quality & Safety

• QA Programs are NOT Government Programs


3

Quality Assurance Objectives

Entry level => Provides education & training

Advanced level => Verification & documentation

needed for:

USDA-FSIS standards

QA program requirements

Branded Product Initiatives To Provide Consumer

Confidence ...


4

Quality Assurance Approach

• incorporate into other management objectives and in everyone's job

• allow it to grow in everyone's attitude • American Meat, Milk & Eggs …

Are Quality Products


5

QA Is A Road Map To Food Safety HACCP

… Build on what you know

• Producers, Employees, Veterinarians, Nutritionist, Other Specialist, Suppliers …

… must take a close look at what could go wrongChemical, Physical & Biological safety hazards

• Build practices that allow checking & verifying• Design all of the everyday working techniques

to avoid having anything go wrong• “Target Activities” => Justify, Verify, Monitor


6

HACCP … In a nut shell• What could go wrong• How can it be prevented• Institute the prevention• Verify the prevention is in place

– AND accomplishing the objective

• In QA HACCP targets –Chemical, Physical & Biological safety

hazards

QA GMP Guidelines(Good Management Practices)

• Care & Husbandry Practices• Feedstuffs & Sources• Feed Additives & Medications• Individual Treatments

– Health Products & Injections

• Mgnt Outliers (Performance/Transfers)– Evaluate History & Residue Test As

Indicated

• Record Keeping

Does QA Work? … YESWe have information … Do we have a story to tell …

QA programs are in almost every state.

USDA-APHIS data tells us that over 95% of all US feedlot have a formal training program for quality assurance.Swine has a similar acceptance of QA programs.

Programs include: antibiotic selection & use, residue avoidance and physical defect management …


10

Does QA Work? … YES

The USDA-FSIS says

“Meat HAS NO RESIDUES TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT” …


11

Remember the Basics

• QA will help control the little mistakes that decrease animal performance.

• It’s the little mistakes that cost us consumer confidence… they buy what they trust.

• There NO Most Valuable Players• QA is everyone's job.


National Residue Monitoring Program


The National Residue Program (NRP) consists of two sampling plans: domestic &import.

• The domestic sampling plan includes … Scheduled Sampling & Inspector Generated Sampling

• Scheduled sampling plans consist of the random sampling of tissue from healthy appearing food animals

• Statistically, applying sampling rates of 230 & 300 per production class population assures a 90 percent and 95 percent probability, respectively, to detect residue violations if the violation rate in the population is equal to or greater than one percent.

USDA-FSIS Changes Residue Screening Test

• In October 2008, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) awarded Charm Sciences a contract to provide Charm KIS Tests to USDA inspectors at slaughter facilities to screen for sulfonamides and antibiotic drugs under the National Residue Program (NRP).

• FSIS will begin implementing the Charm KIS Test in phases starting with cattle (FSIS notice 50-90) and eventually implement it for all livestock.

RESIDUE AVOIDANCE

… Carefully evaluate your ELDU & the extended withdrawals you assign.

… Review treatment & marketing records to assess prescription

compliance.

1717


Antibiotic Residue Avoidance Strategy• Identify all animals treated.• Record all treatments: • Date; animal’ ID; dose given; route of administration; the

person who administered the treatment; withdrawal time (WD).• Strictly follow label directions for product use.• Use newer technology antibiotics when possible.• Select antibiotics with short WD when the choice is equivalent.• Never give more than 10 cc per IM injection site.• Avoid Extra Label Drug Use (ELDU) of antibiotics.• Avoid using multiple antibiotics at the same time.• Don’t mix antibiotics in the same syringe.• Check ALL medication/treatment records before marketing.

1818


What can be done to protect our producers … & ourselves?

• Use residue screening tests such as the urine adapted PremiTest or PHAST before “high-residue-risk” cattle are sold …

• Will the test work “pre-harvest”?– Yes … BUT it is a microbial inhibition test and must use

with knowledge of the sensitivity & the MRL• If the urine doesn’t inhibit the test … it is not likely

tissue juices from the kidney will inhibit the test … a couple of potential exceptions … Gen & NeoPremiTest (DSM Corp), PHAST (Pre-Harvest Antibiotic Screening Test)

1919

What is the most important position our profession & industry can have?

DON’T SEND CATTLE

TO MARKET WITH A RESIDUE!
