A Program for . . .
Youth Animal Projects
Quality Assurance (QA) Program Purpose
 Make you aware of your responsibilities as a
livestock and dairy producer
 Best management practices are key to Quality
Assurance
 Assist you in providing a residue-safe product
Six Key QA Responsibilities are:
Quality Assurance
Animal Care and Ownership
Animal Health
Human Health
Honesty and Sportsmanship
Ethics and Conduct
Quality Assurance (QA) Responsibilities
 Know YOUR job is to provide a safe, wholesome
food product to consumers
 Understand how to follow labels carefully for every
feed additive, medicine, or product used
 Develop a close working relationship with your
veterinarian
Animal Care and Ownership
 Remember – You are the primary caregiver for
your animal
 Provide necessary water, food, and care to
protect the health and well-being of your animal
 Make timely observations of your animal to
ensure basic needs are being met
 Cleanliness must be maintained with your
animal, facilities, and transportation vehicles
Animal Health
 Identify types of animal identification and tracking
 Know and understand medication labels and feed tags
 Administer medications properly
 Know the importance of withdrawal times
 Avoid drug residues
 Develop a proper nutrition and feeding plan
 Provide appropriate housing facilities for animals
 Implement appropriate biosecurity measures
Human Health
 Wholesome and Safe Product
Residue avoidance
Foodborne diseases (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella)
 Worldwide, 60% of infectious diseases affect
both humans AND animals. These are called
zoonotic diseases:
Influenza (flu): Birds and pigs
Sore Mouth: Sheep
Ringworm: Cattle and sheep
Rabies: Cattle, sheep, pigs, goats
Honesty and Sportsmanship
 Honesty is “always doing the right thing and
making the right decision with your 4-H and/or
FFA project.”
 Sportsmanship is about exhibiting livestock with
honor.
 Read the rules.
 If it needs to be a secret, it’s probably wrong.
 Is it a fraudulent practice? Does it misrepresent the
animal?
 Is your action in the best interest of the animal?
 Does your action require the granting of “Special
Exception”?
Ethics and Conduct

Drugs Based on a Valid Veterinarian/Client/Patient
Relationship
Veterinarian/Client/Patient (animal) Relationship = VCPR
VCPR exists when your
veterinarian knows -YOU and YOUR ANIMAL
Critical Parts of a Valid VCPR
Veterinarian
Client
Patient (animal)
Relationship
VCPR
An Appropriate VCPR will Exist When:
Veterinarian has assumed responsibility
for making medical judgments
regarding the health of your project
animal as well as the need for medical
treatment, and the caretaker has agreed
to follow the veterinarian’s instructions.
An Appropriate VCPR will Exist When:
Veterinarian has sufficient knowledge of
project animal to make a general diagnosis of
the animal’s medical condition.
Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
The Government Agency Responsible for Approval and
Regulation of:
- Animal Products

prescription
Rx (prescription)
- can only be used by
or on the order of a
licensed veterinarian
Factors That Determine if a Drug Can
Be Obtained Over The Counter
• Has a Larger Margin of Safety
• Does Not Require a Prescription
• Is Safer to Handle by a Consumer
Extra-Label Use
Remember – Only a
veterinarian can
change any of the
directions on a label.
No one can change
directions on a feed
label.
