 Junior members, grades 4 – 6, need to come every year.
 Intermediates, grades 7 – 9
 Seniors, grades 10 - 12
 Intermediate and Senior members can attend an annual
training or take the test-out option
• Intermediates and Seniors may test out of
attending yearly FSQA sessions.
• To do so – they must take a 20 (Int.) or 30 (Sr.)
question exam and receive a 70% passing score.
• At one setting, they may take a different exam 3
times if necessary to pass.
• Check with your county extension office for the
testing dates / times and for any specific
requirements for testing out.

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.
• Understand and follow the seven Good Production
Practices (GPP’s)
• Produce safe food products for consumers
Good Production Practices
Healthy Animals
Safe Food
 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
 regulates medicated animal feeds and most animal
health products
 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
 sets tolerance levels for pesticides used in food
production
 Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS)
 inspects all livestock at federally inspected packing
plants and examines plant sanitation
• A system used in

Service (FSIS)
Hazards can be identified as:
 Microbial contamination
• Bacteria, virus, protozoa
 Chemical Hazards
• Antimicrobial and chemical tissue residues
 Physical Hazards
• Broken needles or metal

 Use proper size (see chart)
 Needles should not be defective.
 Can damage muscle tissue
 Can break off in the muscle
 Can cause infections
 Inspect needles for dirt
 Inspect for dullness
 Inspect for bending
 Do not straighten bent needles
 Properly restraining animals decreases chances of problems
 Dispose of needles properly
 Stop injections
 Attempt to remove the needle
 Temporarily identify the animal - How ?
 Permanently identify the animal – How ?
 If selling the animal to market, tell the buyer for separation
from market group for special processing.

Provide clean facilities
Provide a balanced ration
Provide plenty of clean fresh water daily
Provide health care, including immunizations and
treatments when necessary
Work with a veterinarian to develop a health care
plan and monitoring process
Handle animals to reduce stress, and ensure safety
Observe animals daily and treat if needed
What if your animals are Too Cold?
 More bedding
 Heaters

What if your animals are Too Hot?
 Shade
 Fans or ventilation
 Sprinkle water
 Remove hair or shear
Animals lose heat in 4 ways…
 Evaporative
 Conductive
 Radiant
 Convective
 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
 High moisture feeds can supply some of the water
requirement

Natural instincts



Fight
Flight
People and animals have comfort zones
 Flight zone is the animal’s “personal space”
 Movement into an animal’s flight zone causes it
to move away from you
 Size of flight zone depends on how tame or wild
the animal is
 With frequent handling, the flight zone
decreases in size; meaning, you have to get
closer to the animal for it to move
 The point where the animal begins to move
away is the edge of the flight zone
The Flight Zone

Livestock have poor depth perception when in
motion.
Pigs, cattle, and sheep will naturally move to a more
brightly illuminated area
Cattle can kick to the side and to the rear.
No electric shockers. Pigs are very sensitive to
electric shock and can cause them to tremble and go
down
 Monitor Temperature and Humidity
 Give adequate space
 Use bedding in winter
 Avoid wind chill of animals in winter
 Wet sand or sawdust in summer
 Keep cool in summer
 Provide proper footing for animals
 Drive smoothly
 People are watching how you treat your animal at
shows
 Proper handling reduces stress on your animal and
you
 By reducing stress, you get better quality meat

• Ethics is the demonstration of good character traits.
(Caring, Respect, Trustworthiness, Fairness,
Responsibility, Citizenship)
• Knowing and doing the right thing.
• Caring - showing concern for others
• Respect - treating others the way you
want to be treated
• Trustworthiness - don’t lie, cheat, be
dishonest
• Fairness - play by the rules, listening
• Responsibility - be accountable for your
actions
• Citizenship - helping others and
obeying rules
• Not only deals with
how you treat your
animal
• But also how you
act and present
yourself
Scenario/Activity
#1
Steer
Scenario
• Your steer just isn’t walking right at the State Fair; he
seems tight off his back legs
• You think he could do really well in the show, so you
and your Dad decide to give him some Banamine to
loosen him up
• You know Banamine isn’t really legal but you’ve
heard others have used it and it works really good
• No one will even know; there are 300 steers here and
you’re just taking him home anyway if he doesn’t win
Result
• Your steer got 5th in his class so you’re just going to
send him on the truck to the packer (Tyson)
• The packer does some drug testing on the animals
from the fair and finds Banamine present in an
animal; YOUR animal
• Tyson notifies the fair of the result and states they
will no longer buy 4-H animals since they cannot let
the meat enter the grocery store
Now What??
• Since you have violated the Code of Ethics by giving an
unauthorized drug to your animal, you have been
banned from showing for 2 years, your friends can’t sell
their animals, and you’ve endangered the food supply
• Tyson’s export markets to Japan have been shut down
due to the positive test and cattle prices fall since we
now have more meat than we can sell
• You may be one in a million, but a million can be
affected by one
Scenario/Activity
#2
Rabbit
Scenario
• You’re exhibiting your rabbit at the county fair and you
see a tremendous one that your friend brought and wins
Grand Champion with
• Your friend is not going to the State Fair so you ask if you
can “borrow” it to exhibit since rabbits don’t have to be
ID’ed or anything really
• Your friend agrees reluctantly, but decides to let you
show it at the State Fair
• The rabbit wins Grand Champion at the State Fair as well
and you’re ecstatic!!
Result
• You joke to another 4-H’er that this isn’t really even
your rabbit, but your friend’s that you’re borrowing
• Show officials hear of the incident and now will have
a new rule next year that all rabbits be tattooed and
maybe ear tagged by May 15th
• With all the hassle now to enter the State Fair, show
numbers dwindle and the rabbit show is cancelled
• Think before you act, and DO THE RIGHT THING!
