Conclusions
refer to all five sections of the Assuring Quality program.
Using quality assurance methods will help you raise healthy
animals. It also will help the entire livestock industry because
consumers will be more likely to trust the safety and quality
of the food supply. Also, consumers will recognize livestock
producers for their role in helping assure the food supply’s
quality and safety.
| Using quality assurance procedures: |
| • |
will help assure your animals are healthy |
| • |
may result in increased production from
your animals |
| • |
will maintain and improve consumer confidence in the
meat and livestock industries
|
| • |
will help maintain confidence in the value
of youth livestock programs |
| • |
will help consumers understand that livestock producers
have the welfare of the animals in mind.
|
| Remember these three things: |
| 1. |
Quality assurance and food safety are everyone’s
responsibility. |
| 2. |
No matter how many or how few animals you
produce, you are producing a food product for someone! |
| 3. |
Do your part! You, the entire livestock
industry and all
consumers will benefit. |
