2017 4-H MARKET ANIMAL QUALITY ASSURANCE PLEDGE STEUBEN COUNTY 4-H ANIMAL RAISERS COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE All 4-H members engaged in animal production activities are expected to review and do the best job that they can do to understand and adhere to the following practices. As a 4-H member: I am responsible to house, feed, manage and care for my animals adequately on a daily basis, both at home and while on exhibition. I am also learning about vaccination practices and health care procedures that I can follow to protect my animals from becoming sick or injured. I will inspect facilities for things like cleanliness, animal comfort and safe methods of animal handling and restraint. I will work with my veterinarian and follow my vet’s advice and recommendations with all prescription medications. I agree that I will strictly adhere to label directions when using any over the counter medications. I understand that many medications and treatments, (including rabies vaccines), have withdrawal times. Common medications or treatments include de-worming medicines, vaccinations or shots given to prevent diseases and antibiotics used to treat diseases. If your market animal does not adhere to the proper withdrawal time as of Monday, August 14, 2017 when the market animal arrives to be weighed in at Empire Livestock then the market animal will not be allowed to be exhibited in its 4-H market class. I will choose grooming products that I know are safe for humans and animals. I understand that some grooming products are not intended for market animals because they could contain residue-producing or carcinogenic chemicals. I will read product labels and avoid products that may be harmful to my animal or me. Two known harmful chemicals are methylene chloride and toluene. I will learn to prepare my animals by calculating proper withdrawal times for legal medications and treatments. I will learn how to follow state and federal animal identification regulations. I will be honest in reporting my knowledge about treatments before my animals are prepared for shows, sales, market or slaughter. I know one of the best ways to ensure a safe food supply is to send meat animals clean, dry and medicationfree to market. I will be caring in my relationships and will strive to do others no harm. I am aware that my actions and decisions affect others. If I do not follow these practices, I could be harming myself. I could be harming others. I could be harming the food supply. If violations occur, I could be subjected to penalties that will be identified in 4-H Program Policies. My signature means I have read and will practice the Quality Assurance Pledge.
