    1. 1 5-State Beef Initiative Beef Quality Assurance & Health Management

    2. 2 Overview 1. Importance of program 2. Definition of quality and how to manage through Total Quality Management. 3. Best Management Practices (BMP’s) - Early castration and dehorning - Tenting method - Etc.

    3. 3 Overview (cont.) 4. Understand the difference between USDA Yield and Quality Grades. 5. Understand how management practices affect tenderness.

    4. 4 Goal of BQA To ensure all cattle and beef products are: - Healthy - Safe - Wholesome - Meet federal management guidelines - Meets or exceeds consumer expectations

    5. 5 Consumers Are Paying Attention

    6. 6 Who are your Customers? Cow/Calf Producer (Seedstock or Commercial) Backgrounders Feedlot Packer Food Service/Purveyor Consumer

    7. 7 Total Quality Management

    8. 8 TOP CONCERNS FOR BEEF INDUSTRY: Aggregate Response from Purveyors, Retailers and Restaurateurs: Low Overall Uniformity and Consistency Inappropriate Carcass Weight Inadequate Tenderness National Beef Quality Audit, 2000

    9. 9 Goals to Improve Quality Learn how cattle perform in the feedlot and on the rail. Are they healthy? Do they gain more than 3.0 lbs./day? Does 50% or more grade Choice? Do any grade Standard? What are the Yield Grades? Are there any injection site blemishes?

    10. 10 Yield Grade A 1 to 5 score that represents an estimate of the percent yield of the boneless, closely trimmed retail cuts from the round, loin, rib and chuck. Four factors: 1. 12th rib backfat 2. Ribeye area 3. Hot carcass weight 4. % kidney, pelvic & heart fat

    13. 13 USDA Quality Grade Subjective evaluation of factors that predict palatability (tenderness, juiciness, and flavor) USDA Quality grades for young cattle are: Prime, Choice, Select, and Standard. Based on: 1) MATURITY and 2) MARBLING.

    14. 14

    15. 15 Relationship of marbling and maturity as used in determining final beef carcass quality grade. (Reproduced courtesy of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.)

    16. 16 Challenge with Quality Grades Marbling only accounts for 10 to 35 percent of the variation in tenderness.

    17. 17

    18. 18 The Target High Quality Grade Our region has an abundant grain supply and a competitive advantage in low cost, high energy feed Guaranteed Tender The 5-State Beef Initiative is investing in research to develop a rapid determination of tenderness from the carcass

    19. 19 Recommended Injection - Location NCBA/BQA - 1997

    20. 20 Be aware of vertebrae in the neck when giving injections, especially on baby calves.

    21. 21 Tenting Technique

    22. 22 Managing For Quality Avoid Injection Site Blemishes Use SubQ whenever possible (follow label directions) Improved value for healthy calves

    23. 23 Lesions and Tenderness

    24. 24

    25. 25 IMPLANT PROPERLY Start with clean, dry ear Use antiseptic on the needle between every use. (Less abscesses) Currently, no withdrawal times for FDA approved implants.

    26. 26 Branding Not much done in Indiana Brand on area to minimize hide damage High on Hip Forward on Shoulder

    27. 27 Parasites Cause loss of performance. Damage to the hide. Reduced immune response (i.e. vaccine effectiveness).

    28. 28 What About Market Cows and Bulls? Income from cull animals = 15-20% of gross herd revenue. Market cows and bulls are 25% of all beef consumed in the U.S.

    29. 29 Not Just Hamburger! Cull cows and bulls contribute whole muscle products, e.g. steaks. Roast beef and “Philly steak” sandwiches also produced from these animals.

    30. 30 Think of Cows and Bulls as Part of the Beef Supply 1. Consider injection sites; 2. Adhere to withdrawal times; 3. Feed cows and bulls correctly: bruising occurs easier on thin, emaciated cattle.

    31. 31 LABEL Check List 1. Dosage 2. Timing 3. Route of administration

    32. 32 LABEL Check List (cont.) 4. Warnings or indications 5. Withdrawal times 6. Storage 7. Disposal 8. Expiration date

    33. 33 Extra Label Use Name, address and phone number of the veterinarian who prescribed the drug. Active ingredients and indications. Prescribed withholding time before slaughter. Any cautionary statements. Exact directions for use.

    34. 34 Guidelines for Using Animal Health Products 1. Follow the label and know the product you are using. 2. All products should be given in the neck area in front of the shoulder. 3. Use tenting method for SubQ injections if product can be administered SubQ. 4. Never mix products into one injection.

    35. 35 Guidelines for Using Animal Health Products (cont.) 5. Use multiple sites. Injection sites should be at least the distance of FOUR (4) finger widths away from each other. 6. Never give more than 10 cc of a product in one injection site, unless otherwise specified on the label. 7. Only mix enough product for 2 hours use. 8. Use sterile needles to draw contents.

    36. 36 Guidelines for Using Animal Health Products (cont.) 9. Use a new sterile needle for each 10 to 15 animals. 10. Do not use alcohol or disinfectant on syringes, needles or injection sites when using MLV vaccines. 11. Use proper hygiene and sanitation.

    37. 37 Guidelines for Using Animal Health Products (cont.) 12. Have epinephrine on hand in case of an allergic reaction. 13. Properly record all injections given. When (date) Where (neck, IM or SubQ) What (name of product, lot no., serial no., expiration date) How much administered (total and per injection site) Records on meds. and feed additives should be kept 2 yrs.

    38. 38 Store Pharmaceuticals Correctly 1. Check the expiration date on the label to be sure it has not expired. 2. Only purchase quantities that can be used before the expiration date. 3. Some pharmaceuticals need to be refrigerated at 40° to 50° F and must not be frozen.

    39. 39 Store Pharmaceuticals Correctly (cont.) 4. Do not store medication in syringes. 5. Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat. 6. Use a “cooler” chuteside.

    40. 40 Storage and Disposal 1. Store used needles in a rigid plastic container. Dispose of them by presenting container to a sanitary landfill representative or by returning them to your veterinarian. 2. Properly destroy disposable syringes, outdated products and pharmaceutical containers so they cannot be reused or misused. READ LABELS. Some pharmaceutical containers require incineration before disposal.
