A component of food safety is freedom from drug residue violations. All animal caretakers must be instructed on methods used to follow label directions, identify treated animals and record treated animals. As a pork producer you are responsible to:Read, understand, and follow label directions when giving any medicationDevelop a medication record and animal ID system so all caretakers know the medication status of animals prepared for harvestIdentify all treated animalsKeep records for making judgments about marketing animals that have been treated Use medication records to determine when withdrawal times have been completedRead the passages and click Next!Trade NameActive IngredientIndicationsDosageDirections for UseCautions and WarningsWithdrawal TimesManufacturers Lot NumberExpiration DateMeasured portion of medication to be administered at a given timeDate the medication should be discardedItems to pay particular attention to when using the medicationCommercial name given by manufacturerReference number that a manufacturer used to determine the batch in which the product was madeChemical name(s) of what makes up the active portion of the medicationHow to administer medication, proper storage of medication, and other special instructions needed to correctly keep and use medicationUse of the drug for treating a particular disease or set of signs and symptomsAmount of time that must pass after the medication is administered before harvest.

Drug Label matching ActivityDraw a Line between each term and its definition. When finished click Next!Pen HereStoring and Disposing of MedicationsProper drug storage instructions are located on the label. Most medication require storage in a clean, dry and dark location. Medications are perishable, just like food. This means they must be protected from damage and stored under the right conditions in order to remain effective. The strength of a drug can be compromised when exposed to extreme temperature or sunlight. Some drugs are best stored at room temperature while others require refrigeration. Most vaccines and some antibiotics should be refrigerated at 40-45 degrees F. Used needles, knife blades and syringes are called sharps. These devices must be disposed of properly following use to prevent environment contamination and injury. Sharps should be disposed of in a rigid puncture-resistant container immediately after use. These can be purchased from local farm stores or your veterinarian. Sharps containers must be clearly labeled as a biohazard waste container not for recycling. For disposal of these items ask your veterinarian or a local hospital if they accept farm-generated medical wastes. Properly handling and dispoing of these products minimize environment exposure.

Read the passages and click Next!Administering MedicationsMedications are commonly administered to pigs in three ways: orally, topically, or by injection. Each method has advantages and disadvantages based on the situation.OralOral medications are those given through the mouth. When a large number of animals are medicated, water and/or feed can sometimes be used as vehicles to deliver medication. These routes are often less stressful for the animals as it is with people.When using medicated feed, all instructions on the feed tag or delivery slip must be followed. Feed intake should be monitored.

TopicalSome medications are administered by applying them to the skin of the pig. Examples include sprays, dusts, pour-ons, and dips. Most of the topical medications are for parasite control. Read the passages and click Next!Administering MedicationsBy InjectionInjections are useful when treating individual animals and may be the only practical way of medicating pigs too sick to eat or drink. However, improper injection technique cause significant loss to the pork industry each year. Site reactions, broken needles, and lack of product effectiveness are a few consequences. There are five ways to give injectable medications to pigs.IM- In the MuscleUse a spot on the neck just behind and below the ear, but in front of the shoulder. Do not use a needle to inject into the ham or loins. Use proper size and length of needle to ensure the medication is deposited in the muscle, not in other tissues.

This is the proper area to give an IM injection!Read the passages and click Next!Administering InjectionsSUBQ- Under the SkinUse proper needle length and angle. Slide the needle under the skin away from the site of skin puncture before depositing the product. For small pigs use the flaps of the skin in the flank or behind the elbow, but for large pigs inject in the neck behind the ear at the same location of the IM injections.IP-In the Abdominal Cavity and IV- In the VeinThis should ONLY BE USED UPON VET INSTRUCTION, serious injury including death of the pig can occur.

This area is recommended to give a SUBQ injection.For young pigs, these areas are recommended.Read the passages and click Next!Now its Your Turn!Have you ever given a Shot before?

There are two primary methods of animal identification, permanent and temporary.

Read the passages and click Next!PermanentEar notchesOne method of ID where each ear and notch locations denote specific numbers. (See next slide)TattoosAlso used in swine. An advantage is that they are permanent and not easily altered. However, they are difficult to read from a distance.TemporaryEar TagsCommon in Swine ID. Tags are easy to read from a distance and are inexpensive. However, they can be easily ripped from the ear.Paint Brands & Crayon/Stick marksEach is visible from a distance and easily applied. However, they can be washed, wiped, or rubbed off and onto other pigs.How to Read Ear NotchesRead the passages and click Next!

One method of ear notching uses the pigs right ear to denote the litter number and the left ear to identify the piglet number. The notches, symbolize different numbers, are added together for each ear then read starting with the litter number.For example, piglet 23-4 was born in the 23rd litter and was the fourth pig identified. The ear can be divided into four quadrants. With the exception of 1, the notch numbers are in multiples of three (1, 3, 9, 27, 81). Except 81, the tip of the ear, up to two notches can be placed in each quadrant. If done consistently, ear notches are permanent forms of individual identification. They seem complicated at first, but are easy to read with practice.This pig is 2-12!Animal TracingAnimal Tracing is very important in record keeping for the moving or treatment of animals.Animal Tracing can be accomplished by using the program standards in the Swine ID Plan. A movement record would include the animals or groups ID number, PIN of the sending and receiving locations, the date of movement, number of head moved, and the reason for movement.Records need to be maintained for three years after the swine leave the premises and will be available to animal health officials for inspection. Exhibitors are encouraged to keep records of shows in which they have participated in for future use.

Read the passages and click Next!Medication RecordsThere are several reasons related to food safety for keeping records of all medications given to food-producing animals. The primary reason is to make sure withdrawal times have elapsed before marketing.Keeping and maintaining records is also a basic expectation of regulatory officials. Medication records provide documentation that demonstrates a drug was used properly. All food-animal producers must keep medication and treatment records for one year from the last day of treatment. Heres an example of the minimum Medication Records needed:Read the passages and click Next!

Click play and watch the video then click Next!Environmental management PracticesGeneral Site ConditionsThe production site should be set back an appropriate distance from environmental receptors like surface water streams, rivers and lakes, and drinking water wells.Site location should minimize impact on neighbors and public areas. State/Local regulations may require minimum setback distances an operation must meet.Site should be maintained to minimize erosion or ponding of water and vegetative areas mowed and trimmed.Insect and rodent populations should be controlled inside and outside the buildings and at mortality storage/ compost sites.BuildingsWater and Cooling systems should be checked and maintained free of leaksPens, service aisles, travel lanes and feed alleys should be free of excessive dust buildup
