B.
Go through
and write down the typical treatments for the most
common conditions you treat. It is especially important
to describe the treatments you administer on your own
(i.e. your veterinarian may not see all these cases).
The tables will guide you through some common illnesses.
Please add whatever illness(es) you commonly treat if
you can expect to treat at least several cases a year.

C Processing Records
Processing records are an easy way to document whole or
partial herd work. Such times include processing calves
at arrival, pregnancy testing cows, branding calves, and
vaccinating cows or calves. An example of a processing
record is included in your SD BQA/CMP Handbook.
Processing records should include the following:
-
Date
-
Group
Identification (by tag number, owner, pen, or other) so
that record can be traced back to animals treated
-
Listing of all
treatments administered, including vaccines, dewormers,
vitamins, probiotics, and surgical procedures, dose
given, route, person giving/doing the treatment
-
Location where
treatment is administered
A.
How will you
maintain this information?
-
On the example
form entitled - "Processing Map."
-
In our IRM
redbook or similar vet pocket record book.
-
On other forms we use. (please describe)
Part D - Pesticide Usage
Pesticides are commonly used and often forgotten as a
possible source of chemical residues.
Please
fill out the table below describing the use of
pesticides on the cattle. We are referring to pesticides
used on the cattle to control internal and external
parasites (dewormers, flies, lice, grubs).

When
feeding cattle in confinement, the above combinations
apply not only to an individual feed, but also to
different feeds used in individual pens. For example, a
feed containing oxytetracycline and a feed containing
tylosin cannot be placed in separate bunks in the same
pen. This would be considered an illegal drug
combination.
Switching medicated feeds in a particular bunk also can
lead to illegal drug combinations. Before switching a
medicated feed in a particular bunk, the bunk should be
properly cleaned out or a non-medicated feed should be
used to "flush" the bunk before the new medicated feed
is added. This will help avoid illegal drug
combinations.
A. Did
you circle any feed additives have withdrawal times?
Yes - How do you
document this to assure that the withdrawal time is met
before selling cattle? Describe what you do.
No We do not use feed
additives with a withdrawal time
Part F -
Using Records to avoid residues in animals offered for sale
A. To avoid residues or inform
our buyer of residues (in non-slaughter cattle) we must
check the following records prior to sale of animals:
We
agree to check these records before cattle are sold to
slaughter or any other.
-
Yes - Continue on
-
No - See
facilitator
B. To
avoid residues or inform our buyer of residues (in
non-slaughter cattle) we must produce a series of written
records. Please complete the table below indicating the
person or persons responsible for completion (i.e.
who is responsible to write this information down).

Section 2 Feed and
Feedstuff Contamination
Back to Previous
Page
Objective - Provide framework of
records to minimize risk of undesirable substances passed to
cattle through feed.
Part A
Contamination with Chemicals or Natural Toxicants
-
We agree to
maintain a quality control program for purchased feedstuffs
that includes visual inspection and the maintenance of
records indicating feed type, source, quantity, and date
received.
-
Yes
-
No see the
facilitator
Records should be maintained for
two (2) years.
Operations which
purchase large amounts of feed or feed from multiple
suppliers should consider:
-
Requiring letters
from suppliers stating what (if any) substances were added
to the feed product at or after harvest, and that approved
pesticides were used on that crop.
-
Establishing a
sampling program for incoming feedstuffs. Such samples
would be stored a minimum period of time and available for
analysis if the need arises. Feedstuffs that might be
considered high risk for contamination (off type feeds
such as corn screenings and other damaged feed, fats and
oils) should be especially considered in this program.
Part B-
Ruminant Derived Protein Feed
FDA
regulations prohibit the use of certain byproducts as feed
additives for ruminants. Permitted products include
blood meal and tallow, while prohibited products
include meat and bone meal and tankage when derived from
ruminants.
All
suppliers of feed should be aware of your intent to use the
supplied feed for ruminants, and it is your responsibility
to adhere to these rules. Feed containing prohibited
products carry the clear warning on the tag "DO NOT FEED TO
RUMINANTS."
-
Do
you understand and agree to abide by this?
-
Yes - Proceed
-
No - See the
facilitator
On the
purchased protein supplement you buy, you need to retain all
purchase invoices of feeds that contain animal protein.
This is to document the product used in the event there is a
question. Be sure to check into this. If you feed an
animal protein, then you need to be sure to keep adequate
records. Ask your facilitator if you have questions in this
area.
Section 3 Physical Hazards
and Blemishes
Back to Previous
Page
Objective - Minimize risk of physical hazards
and blemishes in beef products.
Part A Physical Hazards
Occasionally, consumers find foreign objects (broken
needles, buckshot, plastic shavings, etc.) in meat. To
prevent these hazards on the farm, remember;
-
Do not
ever
shoot at cattle with BB guns, shotguns, or pellet guns.
-
Avoid breaking
needles off while making injections. Replace needles
regularly, restrain animals, use an appropriately sized
needle, and purchase high quality metal hub needles.
When a needle gets bent, discard it.
DO NOT
straighten it out and re-use it.
-
To avoid the potential
for physical hazards in meat, we agree to handle and treat

Objective Recognize and
minimize known biological risks in marketed cattle.

I acknowledge that visibly
ill animals may constitute a food safety risk to consumers
consuming beef products. I agree to consult with my
veterinarian regarding the sale of animals that are ill with
a diagnosed infectious disease that could reasonably cause a
food safety risk. Further, I agree to dispose of such
animals in a way that does not pose a risk to the food
supply.

BIOSECURITY
Biosecurity is important to you
as a producer in order to protect your assets. The
implementation of a Biosecurity Plan is optional as a
participant in the SDBQA/CMP plan, but we strongly urge you
to develop a Biosecurity Plan for your operation with the
help of your Veterinarian. The goal of a Biosecurity Plan is
to prevent the introduction of diseases into your herd from
outside sources and reduce disease spread within your own
herd. These are a few areas you may want to consider in your
plan:
-
Herd Additions
-
Visitors
-
Equipment
-
Wildlife and Vermin
-
Confinement Areas such as
calving pens, quarantine pen and sick pen
-
Feed and Water areas
-
Diseases frequently seen in your
operation and diseases that could be introduced

Section 5 Training Records
Back to Previous
Page
Objective Document employee
training and communication.
It is
important that the SD BQA/CMP plan be delivered to the
cattle every day. Therefore, people caring for cattle must
be familiar with the operation plan or be supervised by
someone who is. We agree to make certain that individuals
involved with care of the cattle are properly trained on
cattle care and management on this operation.
A.
The labor for
caring for the cattle on this operation is composed of
1.
Family labor.
2.
Volunteers or
neighbors (working for no charge or for barter) but with
constant management oversight.
3.
Hired labor
working under constant management oversight.
In these cases, the manager is
responsible to make sure the SD BQA/CMP plan is carried
out. Specific training forms for these people are not
required, but are recommended.
4.
Volunteers or
neighbors (working for no charge or for barter) but without constant
management oversight.
5.
Hired employees or
hired crews working without constant management oversight.
Specific training forms for
these people are required, since they are working without
manager oversight.
An example
of an employee training form is included in the appendix
with this packet. This can be used to allow the employee to
verify that they have been trained on the five sections of
the SD BQA/CMP program.
Section
6 - Completion of the SD BQA/CMP Program Certification
Application Form
Congratulations, you have completed the SD Beef Quality
Assurance/Critical Management Plan. Have your facilitator

veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Mail the form
