Virtual: Pork Quality Assurance Training

  • Thursday, November 12, 2020, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

We are pleased to offer a Pork Quality Assurance training remotely for any swine producers. This certification is required for quite a lot of GAP certifications and contracts. "The program was modeled after the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs used by food manufacturers to ensure the safety of food products but was customized for on-farm use. 

PQA has expanded and improved over the years based on scientific advancements and recommendations of technology and animal agriculture experts. In 2007, the program's name changed to PQA Plus? to reflect the merging of two other education programs into one comprehensive instructional program. Today, it covers a spectrum of topics related to food safety and animal well-being. New features have been added, such as on-farm site assessments, detailed animal care components as well as environmental protection and worker safety."- Pork Council.

If you are interested in learning more or interested in becoming PQA certified, please register and the link will be sent directly to you for the online workshop.
