head of pigs to the TZP packing company on
March 19. One of those pigs tested positive
for a sulfa residue. It’s now your job to visit the producer, review his/her records
and production system, and determine the cause of this violation, or the source of
the contamination. What information do you need to see? How can you determine
where the contamination happened?
• Scenario 2: Producer Sue/Sam - you sold 50 head of pigs to the TZP packing
company on March 19. One of those pigs tested positive for a sulfa residue. The
FDA inspector just called to inform you of the violation. The inspector is coming
to your farm tomorrow morning to discuss the potential contamination with you.
What information do you need to show him/her? Where might the contamination
have happened?
Processing Questions:
• Could this really happen?
• Do you use any products that could result in a residue problem?
• What can you do to prevent an animal from being marketed before the required
withdrawal time?
• What other records are you required to keep (Vaccination records, non-medicated
feed use, etc.)?
• What do you need to do to prevent contamination from occurring? How can you
prove you followed good production practices if it does happen?
• How can you keep track of withdrawal times?
• It may be difficult to remember exact dates and times for withholding periods. To
be sure that the proper withholding time has passed when a treated or medicated
animal is offered for sale, it is necessary to have a written record of treatment and
the date of treatment to refer to. A treatment record must include: the date the
treatment was given; the name of the drug; the amount of drug given; if injected,
the location of the injection; and the recommended withholding period. Keeping a
written record of treatment is just as important as reading the label when it comes
to minimizing the risk of residues.

Completing Treatment Records
Background: Discuss the importance of
recordkeeping within an operation. Inform the
participants the next step is to practice keeping
proper records.
Instructions:
• Hand out Treatment Record worksheet to all
participants.
• After all have completed the worksheet,
discuss the answers with the group.
Processing Questions:
• What information must be included on a
treatment record?
• Why is it important to track all treatments?
• Where did you find the information needed?
• How could you ensure the withdrawal time is
followed?
• How would producers maintain identity of the
treated animal in a large group?
Objectives
•
•
Youth will learn what
information must be kept
in treatment records.
Youth will complete a
sample treatment record.

Today is July 12, 20XX, and your name is Jenny Jones. Two days ago the market pig, “Spot” (a
200 lb. blue-butt barrow with the ear notch 36-7), you have been raising since April started having
breathing difficulty. Yesterday Spot failed to eat and would not move around unless forced to do
so. At your request, Dr. Susan Smith, the local veterinarian, has examined your pig and diagnosed
the problem as pneumonia. She administered medications at that time and recorded the
treatment on your chart (not shown). She also left with you more medicine for you to give today.
You have just finished giving the follow-up medication as the veterinarian directed.

Give Them Their Space
Background: Proper housing and nutrition help
animals grow and maintain good health, thereby
increasing their productivity. That’s why it’s
important to design housing and feeding systems
with the right dimensions for your pig. Adequate
space per pig maximizes animals’ comfort and
minimizes overcrowding and competition for lying
space and feed access. For a pig to have adequate
space, it must be able to easily lie down fully on its
side without having to lie on another pig and be
able to easily stand back up. The pig must also be
able to 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 without the
head having to rest on a raised feeder and the rear
quarters coming in contact with the back of the stall
at the same time.
Objectives
•
•
Youth will understand why
providing adequate space
is necessary for producing
quality food products.
Youth will be able to
estimate the space needs
of their animal projects
Materials
A very large room, gym, etc.
Measuring devices (tape
measures, yardsticks, etc)
Masking tape
Timeframe
10-15 Minutes
Instructions:
• Divide the group into 3 teams.
Age
• Assign each group one of the following phases
All
of production:
• Nursery pigs (up to 60 lbs)
• Growing pigs (60-120 lbs)
• Finishing pigs (120 lbs to market weight)
• Ask each group to estimate the size of the pen needed for their assigned pigs to
have adequate space as defined above by using masking tape on the floor. Each
group will lay out the pen on the floor.
• After completing the estimates, hand out the measuring tapes and yardsticks, and
measure the ‘pen’ space.
• Share with the participants the recommended space requirements to achieve
adequate space for the pigs. Compare the results:
• Nursery pig (up to 60 lbs): 3 to 4 sq. ft.
• Growing pig (60-120 lbs): 6 sq. ft.
• Finishing pig (120 lbs to market weight): 8 sq. ft.
Processing Questions:
• How accurate were your estimates? How many estimated more space than was
needed? How many estimated less space that was needed?
• Why are the space needs different for different sizes of hogs?
• What might happen if an animal is not given enough space?
• What might happen if an animal does not have enough feeder space?
• Why is proper space for housing and feeding important to animal productivity and
health?
• What changes do you need to make to your animal facilities to provide adequate
housing or feeder space?
