39 Auditing Diagram
40 AWAP Adoption Eminent NCCR and FMI developed AWAP, an audit program for all farms Fall 2004, momentum was growing, introduction ti eminent AWAP cost to the industry was estimated by ISU and the University of Minnesota at over $100 million per year.
41 Swine Welfare Assurance Already in Place Work began in SWAP introduced Science-based Education and assessment program No audit component Customers believed SWAP lacked credibility and the pork industry believed AWAP was unworkable abe and unaffordable. dabe
42 Progress Before Guarded dialogue with customers. Audit as tool to manage industry welfare challenge. AWAP was gaining momentum. Activists i t driving i the agenda. 100 % farm audit at a cost of over $100 million per year. Purpose of audit to discover out-of-compliance farms. Now Effective dialogue and agreement with customers. Education and assessment is the tool to manage welfare issue. AWAP is off the table. Solution designed d for the mainstream consumer. Audit of stratified sample with reasonable costs. Audit designed to continuously improve the system.
43 The Workable / Affordable Component What s New and What s Not 1. PQA Plus Certification for producer 2. PQA Plus certification and status lasts for 3 years 3. PQA and SWAP are merged 4. All PQA Plus Advisors must be trained 5. SWAP (GPP 10) assessment is streamlined and focused 6. Care and well-being audits of a statistical sample of sites 7. PQA Plus Status for site premise ID
44 The Credibility Component The goal of audits should be to measure the effectiveness of the welfare assurance system/program, not to find farms not in compliance. Audit farms to achieve a 99% confidence level that at least 95% of farms are in compliance Pending USDA approval, Pork Checkoff would pay for audits
45 Objective Continuous Improvement Use the aggregate assessment data to identify areas for additional education and training in pork production
46 GPP # 10 Provide proper swine care to improve swine well-being.
47 Introduction PQA Plus Site Assessment An on-farm educational site assessment tool for pork producers to objectively assess the well-being of their pigs.
48 Introduction PQA Plus GPP #10 consists of twelve care and well-being principles. i Ten of these principles are assessed through all phases of production: Gilts, sows, boars, neonatal pigs Nursery and finisher pigs Three animal care and well-being areas will be reviewed during the site assessment: Records Animals Facilities
49 Preparation Checklist General Premises identification Animal inventory by phase and housing type Site map (if necessary)
50 Preparation Checklist Records Evidence of VCPR Medication and treatment records Daily animal observation records Caretaker training program documentation Emergency action plan Euthanasia plan
51 Preparation Checklist Materials PQA Plus Education Book PQA Plus Assessment Workbook PQA Plus Assessment Guide Equipment Thermometer NH 3 gas diffusion tubes Marking stick/spray Clipboard Ink pen Duct tape Measuring bucket Watch or stopwatch for timing
52 What is a Site? Defined by National Premises Identification Number Premises ID registration occurs at the state level hi d / i / i es_id/register.shtml
53 Use the table in the Assessment Guide or Assessment Workbook Selecting Animals
54 Ex. 1 Selecting Animals Fill in table to determine number of animals in each phase and housing type to assess.
55 Assessment Form Assessment Points should be marked either: Acceptable Develop and implement an action plan
56 Assessment Form Some Assessment Points will require a calculation result and/or measurement to be filled in.
57 Benchmarking Appendix Some data is not mandatory but should be Some data is not mandatory but should be recorded for benchmarking purposes.
58 Recordkeeping Does the site have documentation of caretaker training? i Yes- Mark Acceptable on the Assessment Form. No Mark Develop and Implement an Action Plan on the Assessment Form. Documentation should include: Trainee name Trainer name Date
59 Emergency Support Does the site have a written emergency action plan? Yes- Mark Acceptable on the Assessment Form. No Mark Develop and Implement an Action Plan on the Assessment Form.

Date, caretaker name or initials, building ID Records should be kept for 12 months Examples of daily observation Log, calendar, water usage, high/low temperatures, sow cards
62 Body Condition Score (BCS) Is the body condition score for healthy animals in the Breeding Herd 1% or less BCS 1? Review the table and make appropriate marking on the Assessment Form. Is the BCS calculation: Mark this: Less than 1% BCS 1 Acceptable Greater than 1% BCS 1 Develop and implement action plan Is the body condition score for healthy animals in the Non-Breeding Herd 3% or less BCS 1? Review the table and make appropriate marking on the Assessment Form. Is the BCS calculation: Mark this: Less than 3% BCS 1 Acceptable Greater than 3% BCS 1 Develop and implement action plan
63 Body Condition Score (BCS) Indicator of management and animal well-being Detection of ribs, back bone, Score Condition H bones, and pin bones 1 Emaciated Obvious 2 Thin Easily detected with pressure 3 Ideal Barely felt with firm pressure 4 Fat None 5 Overly fat None
64 Body Condition Score (BCS) Example calculation (breeding herd): #1 Number of pigs with BCS 1 = 3 #2 Total pigs observed = 63 (#1 #2) x 100 = 4.8% OPTIONAL: Repeat calculations for BCS 2 5 animals in the Breeding Herd only and record in the Benchmarking Appendix.
65 Body Space Do 90% of pigs in the breeding herd have adequate body space? Is the Body Space calculation result: Mark this: Greater than 90% meeting space requirements Acceptable Less than 90% meeting space requirements Develop and implement action plan
66 Body Space Adequate space to accommodate a pig s body requires that the pig can: Easily lie down fully on its side (full lateral recumbency) without having to lie on another pig and easily stand back up; Lie down without the head having to rest on a raised feeder; Additionally, a sow housed in a stall must be able to lie down fully on its side (full lateral recumbency) without the head having to rest on a raised feeder and the rear quarters coming in contact with the back of fthe stall at tthe same time.

74 Animal Evaluation Swine Behavior Animals reaction to you or someone else can indicate how they are being handled
75 Pen maintenance Facilities In good repair so as not to cause injury Pens and flooring Feeders and waterers Feeder space Ample space for daily ration consumption and prevention of unnecessary fighting and competition Feeders located to allow for unobstructed feed delivery Water availability Sufficient flow rate Waterers located to allow for unobstructed water delivery
76 Facilities Complete the calculations and record in Benchmarking Appendix. Example (flooring): #1 Number of pens with damaged flooring that could injure animals = 2 #2 Total pens observed = 30 (#1 #2) x 100 = 6.7%
77 Final steps Complete the Assessment Form and Benchmarking Appendix Work with a PQA Plus Advisor to develop action plans as needed Implement the action plans
78 Auditing Diagram
79 Summary Auditing is in all of our futures PQA Plus Other programs will also require this Good method of process control Allows for measurable events for continuous improvement
80 Summary If you measure it will change Make sure the swine industry has a say in what we measure
