8. Why do PQA?

9. We care: making our industry stronger • The We Care initiative addresses the concerns of trust and transparency in the pork industry and communicates that the industry is responsible and aware of what customers and pigs need. The We Care initiative encourages improvement in practices and a strong record of responsible farming. Youth PQA Plus is one part of the We Care initiative and is a clear representation of the industry’s and youth’s commitment to responsible farming and continuous improvement. • We ask that every pork producer make the following commitments: • Produce safe food • Protect and promote animal well-being • Ensure production practices to protect public health • Safeguard natural resources in all of our practices • Provide a work environment that is safe and consistent with out other ethical principles. • Contribute to a better quality of life in our communities

16. Administer medication Responsibly Read the passages and click Next! • A primary responsibility of all pork producers is to produce safe food. A component of food safety is freedom from drug residue violations. All animal caretakers must be instructed on methods used to follow label directions, identify treated animals and record treated animals. As a pork producer you are responsible to: • Read, understand, and follow label directions when giving any medication • Develop a medication record and animal ID system so all caretakers know the medication status of animals prepared for harvest • Identify all treated animals • Keep records for making judgments about marketing animals that have been treated • Use medication records to determine when withdrawal times have been completed

18. Storing and Disposing of Medications Read the passages and click Next! Proper drug storage instructions are located on the label. Most medication require storage in a clean, dry and dark location. Medications are perishable, just like food. This means they must be protected from damage and stored under the right conditions in order to remain effective. The strength of a drug can be compromised when exposed to extreme temperature or sunlight. Some drugs are best stored at room temperature while others require refrigeration. Most vaccines and some antibiotics should be refrigerated at 40-45 degrees F. Used needles, knife blades and syringes are called “sharps.” These devices must be disposed of properly following use to prevent environment contamination and injury. Sharps should be disposed of in a rigid puncture-resistant container immediately after use. These can be purchased from local farm stores or your veterinarian. Sharps containers must be clearly labeled as a biohazard waste container not for recycling. For disposal of these items ask your veterinarian or a local hospital if they accept farm-generated medical wastes. Properly handling and dispoing of these products minimize environment exposure.

19. Administering Medications • Topical • Some medications are administered by applying them to the skin of the pig. Examples include sprays, dusts, pour-ons, and dips. Most of the topical medications are for parasite control. Read the passages and click Next! • Medications are commonly administered to pigs in three ways: orally, topically, or by injection. Each method has advantages and disadvantages based on the situation. • Oral • Oral medications are those given through the mouth. When a large number of animals are medicated, water and/or feed can sometimes be used as vehicles to deliver medication. These routes are often less stressful for the animals as it is with people. • When using medicated feed, all instructions on the feed tag or delivery slip must be followed. Feed intake should be monitored.

20. Administering Medications This is the proper area to give an IM injection! Read the passages and click Next! • By Injection • Injections are useful when treating individual animals and may be the only practical way of medicating pigs too sick to eat or drink. However, improper injection technique cause significant loss to the pork industry each year. Site reactions, broken needles, and lack of product effectiveness are a few consequences. There are five ways to give injectable medications to pigs. • IM- In the Muscle • Use a spot on the neck just behind and below the ear, but in front of the shoulder. Do not use a needle to inject into the ham or loins. Use proper size and length of needle to ensure the medication is deposited in the muscle, not in other tissues.

21. Administering Injections This area is recommended to give a SUBQ injection. For young pigs, these areas are recommended. • SUBQ- Under the Skin • Use proper needle length and angle. Slide the needle under the skin away from the site of skin puncture before depositing the product. For small pigs use the flaps of the skin in the flank or behind the elbow, but for large pigs inject in the neck behind the ear at the same location of the IM injections. • IP-In the Abdominal Cavity and IV- In the Vein • This should ONLY BE USED UPON VET INSTRUCTION, serious injury including death of the pig can occur.

35. Animal identification • Permanent • Ear notches • One method of ID where each ear and notch locations denote specific numbers. (See next slide) • Tattoos • Also used in swine. An advantage is that they are permanent and not easily altered. However, they are difficult to read from a distance. • Temporary • Ear Tags • Common in Swine ID. Tags are easy to read from a distance and are inexpensive. However, they can be easily ripped from the ear. • Paint Brands & Crayon/Stick marks • Each is visible from a distance and easily applied. However, they can be washed, wiped, or rubbed off and onto other pigs. Read the passages and click Next! Animal identification is the process by which pigs are officially identified individually or as a part of a group or lot. There are two primary methods of animal identification, permanent and temporary.

36. How to Read Ear Notches One method of ear notching uses the pig’s right ear to denote the litter number and the left ear to identify the piglet number. The notches, symbolize different numbers, are added together for each ear then read starting with the litter number. For example, piglet 23-4 was born in the 23rd litter and was the fourth pig identified. This pig is 2-12! The ear can be divided into four quadrants. With the exception of 1, the notch numbers are in multiples of three (1, 3, 9, 27, 81). Except 81, the tip of the ear, up to two notches can be placed in each quadrant. If done consistently, ear notches are permanent forms of individual identification. They seem complicated at first, but are easy to read with practice. Read the passages and click Next!

37. Animal Tracing Read the passages and click Next! Animal Tracing is very important in record keeping for the moving or treatment of animals. Animal Tracing can be accomplished by using the program standards in the Swine ID Plan. A movement record would include the animal’s or group’s ID number, PIN of the sending and receiving locations, the date of movement, number of head moved, and the reason for movement. Records need to be maintained for three years after the swine leave the premises and will be available to animal health officials for inspection. Exhibitors are encouraged to keep records of shows in which they have participated in for future use.

38. Medication Records Read the passages and click Next! There are several reasons related to food safety for keeping records of all medications given to food-producing animals. The primary reason is to make sure withdrawal times have elapsed before marketing. Keeping and maintaining records is also a basic expectation of regulatory officials. Medication records provide documentation that demonstrates a drug was used properly. All food-animal producers must keep medication and treatment records for one year from the last day of treatment. Here’s an example of the minimum Medication Records needed:

49. Environmental management Practices Read the passages and click Next! • General Site Conditions • The production site should be set back an appropriate distance from environmental receptors like surface water streams, rivers and lakes, and drinking water wells. • Site location should minimize impact on neighbors and public areas. State/Local regulations may require minimum setback distances an operation must meet. • Site should be maintained to minimize erosion or ponding of water and vegetative areas mowed and trimmed. • Insect and rodent populations should be controlled inside and outside the buildings and at mortality storage/ compost sites. • Buildings • Water and Cooling systems should be checked and maintained free of leaks • Pens, service aisles, travel lanes and feed alleys should be free of excessive dust buildup

50. Environmental management Practices Read the passages and click Next! • Manure Management • Trash, health consumables and needles should not intentionally be disposed of in under-building manure pits • Spilled manure should be cleans up in a timely manner • Each state has different nutrient management requirements that prpducers should follow on their farm. • Manure storage systems should be sized to contain the anticipated manure generation from the maximum storage systems should be sized to contain the anticipated manure generation from the maximum removal set forth in the operation’s NMP.
