Pork Quality Assurance Program offered

Kansas

Pork producers are invited to participate in the PQA Plus Certification workshop that will be held on Aug. 20 at the Nemaha County Extension office in Seneca, at 7 p.m. The workshop will be conducted by Jody Holthaus, Meadowlark District Extension agent.

Producers attending the workshop will be trained on two main elements, food safety and animal well-being.

Food Safety ensures customer confidence in pork as a safe and wholesome meat. This is crucial to remain competitive in the market place where retailers are meeting the demands of their consumers.

Animal well being, encompasses housing, management, nutrition, disease prevention and treatment, and humane handling.

Food safety and animal well being have become concerns for consumers, both domestic and foreign.

There is no charge for this program, we asks that you call ahead to make sure there are enough handouts prepared. Please call 785-336-2184.
