Iowa 4-H Food Safety and Quality Assurance Program
Good Production Practices
Which cow would you select to produce the milk that you drink ?
Which steer for your “Mickey D” ?
Which pig for your pork ?
Which animal for your lamb, poultry, and rabbit consumption?
Food Safety – Results in a Delicious Treat !
FSQA – Livestock SpeciesAll 4-H / FFA members who exhibit the
following species need to be FSQA Certified Beef Bucket-Bottle Calves Dairy Cattle Goats (Dairy & Meat) Poultry (Chicken, Turkey, Duck, Geese, etc) Rabbits Sheep Swine
Iowa 4-H Food Safety and Quality Assurance Program
Approximately 17 million pounds of meat are produced by Iowa 4-H’ers each year. Less than 1% of total production.
Reputation of the 4-H program. 4-H’ers need to be responsible to the
consumer and the food industry. Industry requirements must be met and maintained.
Many 4-H’ers are further away from traditional food animal production.
Who is responsible for SAFE FOOD ?
All livestock producers, handlers, processors, food suppliers and consumers.

Balanced DietEnergy Protein MineralsVitaminsFatWater
Adequate and Safe Feed
Read and retain feed labelsUnderstand the nutrient needs of the
animalProvide a balanced rationEnsure feed quality and safety
Follow Good Manufacturing Practices
Adequate and Safe Feed Feed labels must contain… Brand and/or product name Intended species and production phase Medicated Guaranteed Analysis Ingredients Feeding Directions or Mixing Directions Warning or Caution Manufacturer’s name and address Net Weight
Handout – “Feed Tag Information”
Nutrients in a diet
• Energy (Carbohydrates & Essential Fatty Acids)Corn, Barley, Wheat, Cereal by-products, Fat
• Protein & Amino AcidsSoybean Meal, Fish Meal, Grains, etc.
• MineralsLimestone, Dicalcium Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, etc.
• VitaminsVitamin A, D, E Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid
• Water
Ingredients• Free of molds and mycotoxins
• High Quality ..
and no contamination
• Proper nutrient contentIf not – reformulate diets
Livestock Water Requirements
The most important nutrient that you can give to your animal
Water constitutes ~ 60 -70 % of an animal’s live weight
An animal can live ~ 45 – 60 days without food but only ~ 3 – 7 days without water
Relationship between Water and FeedWater quality and quantity will affect feed
consumption and animal healthTherefore, if you want maximum gain or
production from your animals water quality and quantity must be considered.
Think about the Derby contests ! Milk production ! Animal growth for the fair!
Are you monitoring your water supply? Has it been tested !
Feed AdditivesAntibacterial agents
Medications used to improve health and performance
FDA approved Antibiotics
Feed AdditivesGrowth modulators
Compound that alters nutrient use in animal Ractopamine hydrochloride (Elanco Animal
Health) sends energy into muscle growth instead of fat• PAYLEAN - Swine• OPTAFLEXX- Cattle
Probiotics Living bacteria or yeast to enhance digestive tract Lactobacillus, Saccharomyces, Bacillus
Handout – “Paylean and Optaflex Labels”
Paylean – Example of dilution in a diet
Added to a diet at 9 grams / tonTon = 2000 lbs1 lb = 454 grams2000 x 454 = 908,000 gramsRatio of 907, 991 : 9 = 908,000 grams or 1 tonAnalogy – 1 gram = 1 person Iowa population is ~ 3,000,000 people - so compare
mixing 9 people in 1/3 of the population of Iowa. (Des Moines is ~ 200,000 people (or mixing 2 people in Des Moines)
Feed AdditivesAnthemintics (dewormers)
Feed – Water - Injection Organic acids
Reduces stomach pH which can increase protein digestion
Reduces coliforms in intestines Preserves feed quality Citric acid, fumaric acid (non-
ruminants)
Feed Processing
Grinding (Hammermill or Roller Mill)
Increases surface area to improve digestion
Corn, oats, barley, wheat, etc.
Feed ProcessingPelleting
Finely ground material, steamed and extruded
Reduces waste and dust in feed Reduces animal sorting More costly Increases feed efficiency – less feed per
lb. of gain
Feed ProcessingExtruding
Usually done to individual ingredients of ration
Dog food Ground material forced through a die
under pressure
Feed ProcessingRoasting
Soybeans contain anti-nutritional factor that must be heated to inactivate it before feeding to swine
Feed Handling & Storage
Identify feedKeep storage area cleanNumber or label binsInspect steel bins for leaks, moldControl rodentsClean up spillsDo not store near chemicals
Feeding Livestock
Limit feeding Sow fed 5# feed per day Beef cattle fed once per day
Self feeding Feed remains in bunk / feeders at all time
for animal consumption
Feeding Livestock
Provide enough feeder spaceKeep equipment in good repairAvoid spills to control rodentsAdjust feeders to reduce wasteMonitor feeders daily to be sure feed
is availableAdjust feeding amount daily so
leftovers don’t spoil
Feeding Livestock
Watch for sorting…indicates quality problems
Plenty of waterClean waters frequentlyClean feed system after using
medicated feedsClean and disinfect feed and water
equipment between groups
Feeder and Bunk Management
• Regularly check the feeder adjustment
• Minimize the feed wastage – the average feeder loss is approximately 5 to 10%
• Monitor feed bunks for wasted and moldy feedstuffs
• Bunk wastage variable due to feeding skills, feedstuff quality, and weather environment
Good Manufacturing Practices
Buildings and grounds Clean, neat and pest free
Equipment Accurate, well maintained, cleanable
Work space and storage areas Separated to prevent contamination
Product quality assurance Cleanout procedures to prevent contamination & carryover
Labeling Label all medications, retain labels, store separately
Recordkeeping Include delivery date, method, carrier, record medications, retain for at least
one year after feed is used, store samples for 6 months
Adequate and Safe Feed Keep all feed labels for one year
1997—FDA banned feeding restricted mammalian proteins from rendered animals to ruminant animals (meat, bone meal)
This is the documentation 4-H’ers sign before selling their animals.
GGP # 6 –Adequate and Safe FeedImplications to Food Safety and Consumer Acceptance ? Correct withdrawal time for feed drugs Proper use of feed additivesDiet composition may affect the muscle
quality (taste, tenderness, and juiciness) Grass fed vs. grain fed cattle, sheep, goats. High % fat, DDGS, etc. in pigs increases
backfat Range fed vs confinement fed poultry
Biosecurity and Animal Welfare
GPP #6
How do diseases spread?Vectors Direct contact Excretions
Manure Urine Nasal fluids Aerosol fluids
First line of defense….SEGREGATION
What are some examples of animal diseases and parasites ?
PCVAD (cirovirus)Mange / liceWorms (roundworm)DysenteryPseudorabiesFoot and MouthBrucellosisAnthrax
Clostridial LeptospirosisColiform diseases (E
Coli)SalmonellaClub FungusNewcastle diseaseWest Nile Fever
GPP # 6Maintain Biosecurity
External - Reduce disease spread risk from outside the farm Unit location and maintenance Transportation Controls Isolation, acclimatization, and retesting Visitor entry policies Limit traffic of people and vehicles Boot cleaning and disinfecting
Unit LocationDiseases spread by wind, machinesControl rodents, wildlife, birds
Clean up around buildings Mowing Keep doors closed Fix cracks and screens Clean up spilled feed Bait
Transportation ControlsClean and disinfect trailersGive drivers disposable bootsFamily loads…keep driver in truckDo not allow animals to get back off the truckKeep feed trucks out of animal areasLimit visitorsFarm boots vs. town boots
IsolationKeep all new animals away from other animals (30
days) If entering animals are coming down with a disease, they
will show symptoms soon If the originating farm develops a disease after the
animals leave, they could be exposed Isolate after livestock shows
Visitor Entry Policies Identify production areas with signsSome facilities require signing bookGenerally 24 – 72 hours from livestock to
enter a livestock facilities7-days required if visitor from a foreign
countryGive disposable bootsWash hands before and after entry May require shower in – shower out
GPP # 6Maintain Biosecurity
Internal - Reduce disease spread within the herd
Herd examination with veterinarian Utilize diagnostic tests Routine post-mortems Slaughter checks Review records regularly
Internal BiosecurityCleaning and Disinfecting
Remove manure Disinfect pens between groups
Develop a biosecurity plan
Internal BiosecurityVaccination vs. immunizationAnimal movement
Separate ages Do not add new animals without isolation
People movement Visit healthy groups first Chore from youngest to oldest age animal Change or disinfect boots between farm units
Maintain Biosecurity
Internal - Reduce disease spread within the herd

Animal Welfare vs. Animal Rightsdefined by
American Veterinary Medical Association
Animal Welfare – is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal well-being, including proper housing, management, disease prevention and treatment, responsible care, humane handling, and when necessary, humane euthanasia.
Animal Welfare vs. Animal Rightsdefined by
American Veterinary Medical Association
Animal Rights – is a philosophical view that animals have rights similar or the same as humans.
True animal rights proponents believe that humans do not have the right to use animals at all.
Animal rights proponents wish to ban all use of animals by humans.
Animal Welfare - Groups
National Pork Board – Introducing in June PQA Plus – combines the old Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) and Swine Welfare Assurance Program (SWAP) into one program

Current Issues in Animal Production
Bird Flu
Avian Influenza – “Bird Flu”Can impact all birds – domestic and wildVirus
Common strain is H5N1 (highly pathogenic) Can mutate
Potential to infect human via poultryCooked properly - poultry products are safe to
eat
Livestock Production vs. Ethanol
Rising corn price ~ $3.50 - $4.00 per bushel – for livestock production due to demand for ethanol production.
DDGS – Distillers Dried Grain Soluble – a by-product of the Ethanol industry as a feed source for livestock
Replacement of employment opportunities
Iowa Animal Identification ProgramPremises Identification Number – National
Animal Identification System (NAIS)Unique Premises ID number assigned to every
location involved in handling livestock.Animals on farm: Bison/Cattle, Swine, Poultry,
Goats, Sheep, Horses, Elk, Deer, Llamas, Emu, Ostrich
Currently voluntary – may be mandatory in futureConsider obtaining a Premises Identification
Number
Bio-Terrorism ThreatForeign Animal Disease (FAD) Outbreak –
Could it happen in the United States, Iowa, Your County, Your Township, YOUR FARM?
Need to be able to identify and track animals If so – Tremendous Implications
Stop movement on all livestock Economic Impact Logistic of coping with an outbreak Currently – FAD Plans are being made in all counties
in Iowa and the USA.Therefore, the need for a premises identification number
