Presentation Transcript

  1. Quality 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

  2. 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 ...

  3. 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

  4. 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 wrong Chemical, 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

  5. 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

  6. Secret to HACCP Activity ↕ Outcome Target Justify Verify Monitor

  7. 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

  8. Does QA Work? … YES We 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 …

  9. Does QA Work? … YES The USDA-FSIS says “Meat HAS NO RESIDUES TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT” …

  10. 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.

  11. In the world of food => Consumers Purchase • BUY • WHAT • THEY • TRUST

  12. Quality AssuranceOur Business - Our Future

  13. USDA-FSIS Careers http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Careers/veterinary_opportunities/index.asp

  14. Biosecurity… in the “real world”? … can you say “A-RITS”

  15. Understand What We’re Up Against • How are cattle (the ultimate recyclers) raised? • approximately 100M in U.S. … • 50% from herds less than 30 … • 90% beef & 10% dairy … of the beef … • 2 years from birth to food supply • 40% in breeding herds • 30% grazing • 30% harvested each year • ALL in OPEN AIR ENVIROMENT !!! … wildlife • deer, coyotes, raccoons, birds, rodents, insects, …

  16. Biosecurity Basics for Livestock Operations • Biosecurity is a practice designed to prevent the spread of disease by minimizing the movement of biologic organisms (viruses, bacteria, rodents, etc.) onto and within an operation. • Biosecurity can be very difficult to maintain because of the very complex interrelationships between management, biologic organisms and biosecurity. • Biocontainment maybe the only practical control for many diseases. • While developing and maintaining biosecurity is difficult it is the cheapest, most effective means of disease control available and no disease prevention program will work without it.

  17. Health - Disease Complex Interactions

  18. Biosecurity Major Components: ASSESS Different Biosecurity Risks– RESISTANCE Improvement ISOLATE from risk TRAFFIC Control SANITATION – Think Clean RITSare hurdles threats must cross to cause a concern

  19. 1st … the big “A” … ASSESSMENT • Take a close look at what can go wrong … • Assess the risk of each potential biosecurity problem …the relative significance & potential • Evaluate potential to PRCE each risk identified! • Prevent, Reduce, Control, or Eliminate • Resistance in the herd … • Source into and within the herd … • Exposure within the herd … • Don’t Gag On A Gnat & Swallow An Elephant!

  20. 2nd …“RITS” Resistance, Isolation, Traffic Control, & Sanitation. ??? Evidence Based ??? • Maximize resistance General  Specific • Isolate from outside & within • Control exposure & potential spread • Clean, Clean & Clean … think CLEAN!

  21. Risk Training Isolation Traffic Control Sanitation Action Trigger Rapid Response Comments Biosecurity – Specific Disease Control & Identification EXAMPLES … BS-Man-07-SpecficDisCont&ID.doc

  22. Salmonella BSE FMD BVD-PI Leptospirosis Johne’s Leucosis Anaplasmosis Viral calf scours TB - Bangs Johne’s Leucosis Anaplasmosis Viral calf scours TB – Bangs Cryptosporidiosis Coccidiosis, Sarcocystis Neospora, Toxoplasma Trichomoniasis, Vibrio Common Inherent Diseases IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV, Mh & Pm Mycoplasma, & Clostridia Biosecurity Diseases to Consider: • Staph mastitis??? Mastitis (others???) • Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) • Noxious weed • Specific Bioterrorism Issues: Rank significance to different production systems Threat type: EXTERNAL, INTERNAL, MANAGEMENT

  23. Risk Management - PECR • Prevent, Eliminate, Control, Reduce • Resistance … General  Specific • SOURCE, EXPOSURE … Additions … • Isolate, test, monitor, re-test … • Traffic Control … • Sanitation … • Justify  Verify  Monitor • Is there evidence for control? • Is it getting done? • Is it working? (surveillance testing)

  24. Secret to Biosecurity Hazard Analysis, Critical Control Points Target Activities to Targeted Outcomes Prevent, Reduce Control, Eliminate Justify Verify Monitor

  25. Sanitation … Disinfectants • Sanitation should stress CLEAN … not the use of disinfectants • Selection and use of Disinfectants • Understand the target pathogen • Understand the organic load • Understand the disinfectant properties • Understand disinfectant have been documented to relate to antibiotic resistance

  26. Disinfectant Classification • Hypochlorites: • Iodine and ionophore disinfectants: • Chlorhexidine: • Alcohols: • Oxidizing Agents: • Phenolic disinfectants: • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds: • Aldehydes:

  27. All About Disinfectants Disinfectant Properties .

  28. Disinfectant … Virus Targets Go to End

  29. Biosecurity Risk … Evaluate • Accessibility • Personnel training • Reservoir(s) • Isolation • Traffic Flow • Sanitation • Pest Control

  30. Biosecurity-Security … “what if” Emergency Action Plan • Assessing the situation: • Is it a disease concern? • Is it a contaminate concern? • Is it an intruder concern? • NOTIFY THE PROPER PERSONNEL • IMPLEMENT QUICK RESPONSE PLAN • SANITATION … SECURITY Go to End
