Transcription

1 Improving the use and flow of information in the meat chain Dr Gavin Morris MRCVS Dunbia Group Primary Technical and Animal Welfare Manager BPEX EBLEX Conference 02 nd June 2015

2 Agenda 1) What is Information? 2) What Information do we get? How do we use it? Is it useful??? 3) What Information is generated at the slaughterhouse? Where does it flow? Is it useful??? 4) How could we Improve the use and flow of information?

3 Information and it s flow Definition of Information OED Facts provided or learned about something Business Directory 1) Accurate & Timely 2) Specific & Organised for a purpose 3) Presented within a context that gives it Meaning & Relevance 4) Leads to an Increase in Understanding 5) Can affect Behaviour & Decisions

4 A piece of information is considered valueless if, after receiving it, things remain unchanged.

5 2) What Information do we get? & How do we use it

6 Food Chain Information FCI Legally Required (EU H123) H2 FBO must request, receive, check and act upon a) FCI checked by site (FBO) b) Data capture c) FCI passed to OV d) OV checks FCI e) Site (FBO) ante mortem and animals passed to OV f) OV Ante Mortem Inspection g) Animals Slaughter h) PMI on slaughterline i) AMI + PMI = CA CCIR Farmer (+/-?).

7 Lairage Lairage intake (data capture) (FBO - Us)

8 Traceability Batch / EID

9 FCI Sheep FCI (pg1)

10 FCI pg1 1. Supplier details + FQA N o 2. Booking Ref + Producer code 3. Vehicle details + FQA N o 4. Loading + Unloading times 5. N o of lambs + Batch / EID 6. Stock condition (CLP) 7. Holding restrictions 8. Medicines (withdrawal periods) 9. Disease(s) / condition(s) that may affect meat safety 10. Samples that may affect meat safety 11. Assurance Scheme eligibility (FQA; Residency; Born & reared) 12. Record of Vet Meds (> zero withdrawal given in last 60 days) 13. Additional information (if not fulfil all above statements)

11 FCI Sheep FCI (pg2)

12 FCI pg2 13. Additional information (if not fulfil all above statements) continued 14. Keepers Signature 15. Organic declaration 16. Taste The Difference (TTD) declaration 17. YFC declaration 18. Beltex and Dunbia Lamb Export Scheme declaration 19. Collection Centre declaration (<4hours).

13 What Information do we get? (Question) Is it useful??? Y / N Public Health? Animal Welfare? Animal Health? Customer Requirements?

14 FCI and Slaughter Does FCI affect slaughter..? Stock condition (CLP) {FBO & OV AMI} Holding restrictions {usually / always silent} Medicines {FCI is usually / always silent but supported by VMD results} Disease(s) / condition(s) that may affect meat safety Samples {usually / always silent} Record of Vet Meds {usually / always silent} Additional information {usually / always silent} Does FCI affect slaughter.. Actually very very rarely! (Consequences of incorrect declaration!)

15 Customer requirements Does FCI affect Retailers / Customers..? Origin / Region {PGI status e.g. Welsh} Origin / Specific locality {e.g. Cambrian Lamb} Breed {e.g. Scottish Blackface, Beltex etc.} Age, Sex {e.g. no males > 6 mths} Production type {e.g. Organic} Residency(s) Transport duration {legal and Customers} Farm FQA Transport FQA Retailers / Customers. Absolutely Yes!

16 What Information do we get? (Answer) Is it useful??? Y / N **** Public Health N /? Animal Welfare N /? Animal Health N /? **** Customer requirements Very / Critical

17 3) What information is generated at the slaughterhouse? Is it useful? (Question)

18 What Generated? a) Transport audits (Us welfare) b) Ante Mortem Inspection (Us / FSA) (part of official CCIR) c) Retail customer Outcome Measure s (Us welfare) d) Post Mortem Inspection (FSA) (part of official CCIR) e) Weights & Grades (MLC)

19 a) Transport audits Trained staff assess condition of vehicles and fitness for transport Animal welfare & Public Health (hygiene) Internal reports to Agri / Procurement officers

20 b) AMI (FSA 2014) 1) Lameness % 2) Respiratory 0.545% 3) Foot Rot 0.165% 4) Diarrhoea 0.114% 5) Joint lesions 0.099% 6) Foot lesion 0.074% 7) Skin cond 0.066% 8) Dermatitis 0.043% 9) Mastitis 0.034% National data; No distinction Lambs / Ewes / Rams

21 c) Retailer Outcome Measures PARAMETER NAME Total number of Lambs Death during Transport Lairage deaths Animals lame Ear Tag Injuries Stun Fail - Animal movement Stun Fail - Equipment failure Stun Fail - Ineffective Stun Animals pregnant Liver Fluke Condemnations - Whole carcase Condemnations - Half carcase Animals killed in situ

22 d) PMI

23 Post Mortem Inspection Reject conditions = Total or Partial rejections (FBO voluntarily surrenders Carcase or part carcase or offals) How is PMI Information collected?

24 PMI How collected Innova (FSA) Innova (FSA) Innova (FSS) APHIS Online (DARDNI)

25 PMI How collected Memory (?) Paper & pencil

26 PMI How collected Clickers FL CT PP AB CO Fluke C tenuicollis Pleurisy / Pneumonia Abscess Contamination ( but Hydatids, C.ovis, Pericarditis, Peritonitis, Lungworm, Active vs. chronic F.hepatica???)

27 Industry CCIR Offal reader FSA Inspection Touch screen recorder Individual Farmer data Instant information Weights, grades, livers

28 PMI How collected Touch screens

29 PMI What information generated Per flock batch or per day EID Individual cattle or group or per day What recorded? Recording technology? Multiple conditions? (which one recorded ) Quiz time Top 5 SHEEP PMI conditions??????

30 PMI (FSA 2014) FSA Sheep PMI data 2014 Reject Condition Offal % 1 Cysticercus tenuicollis Fascioliasis Lung lesions Pleurisy / Pneumonia Abscess (localised / hepatic / injection)? (1.435)

31 PMI info what happens to it? Innova (FSA) Innova (FSA) Innova (FSS) APHIS Online (DARDNI)

32 PMI info what happens to it? Reject Meat receipts (if available / flock / herd - posted with weights / grades) FSA / FSS data (Access to by farmers?) DARD data ( APHIS web site; farmer access to) Industry Recording facilities / company web site access

33 PMI info what happens to it? DARDNI APHIS Online (Animal and Public Health Information System) DARDNI inspection data APHIS Online web site; farmer access to

34 PMI Information management by Industry Dunbiafarmers.com

35 What information is generated at the slaughterhouse? Is it useful? (Answer) Y / N Transport audits (Us welfare) Ante Mortem Inspection (Us / FSA) (part of official CCIR)? Retail customer Outcome Measure s (Us welfare) Post Mortem Inspection (FSA) (part of official CCIR)? Weights & Grades (MLC) Y Y Y Theory of CCIR is good but a) Does it work?, and b) Does it actually give useful information????

36 Suggestions? 4) How could we improve the use and flow of information? Remembering our definition of Information 1) Accurate & Timely 2) Specific & Organised for a purpose 3) Presented within a context that gives it Meaning & Relevance 4) Leads to an Increase in Understanding 5) Can affect Behaviour & Decisions A couple of possible suggestions.

37 Suggestion 1 S1) Development of Severity recording for specific reject conditions for Sheep & Cattle FSA PMI: Disease Incidence ( Yes ) (Not always / flock vs total site) *** Disease Severity (Not recorded)

38 Suggestion 1 S1) Incidence & Severity Information Determine conditions with key groups: National Sheep Association Sheep Veterinary Society National Beef Association British Cattle Veterinary Association

39 Suggestion 2 S2) Voice recognition data capture (High line speeds / Any line speed / >1 condition present)

40 Suggestion 2 S2) Voice recognition data capture Cost of VDR

41 Suggestion 3 S3) Condition Photographs (AMI / PMI reject conditions )
