3 Youth Agreement The terms of this agreement shall begin on the day of, 20, and terminate on the day of, 20, or when the animal(s) are sold. Who will provide the following? Labor: Housing: Feed: Financing: Transportation: Livestock: Youth Livestock Program Commitment to Excellence I believe that participation in the 4-H Livestock/Animal Program should demonstrate my own knowledge, ability, and skill as a producer and exhibitor of livestock. I will do my own work to the fullest extent I am capable and otherwise will only accept advice and support from others. I will not use abusive, fraudulent, illegal, deceptive, or questionable practices in the feeding, fitting and showing of my animal (s), nor will I allow my parents, supervisor, or any other individual to employ such practices with my animal(s). I will read, understand, and follow the rules without exception, of all livestock shows in which I am a participant, and ask that my parents and the supervisor of my project do the same. I wish for my livestock/animal project to be an example of how to accept what life has to offer, both good and bad, and how to live with the outcome. I realize that I am responsible for: the proper care and safe humane treatment of my animals the production of a high quality, safe and wholesome food demonstrating strong moral character as an example to others. I (the 4-H member) will be responsible for the primary care of my livestock project. I will keep accurate records throughout the project year and agree to finish this record in order to complete my livestock project. Member Signature Date Parent/Guardian Signature Date Page 3

8 Assuring Quality Care for Animals Assuring Quality Care for Animals merges the current state-mandated Youth Food Animal Quality Assurance program with animal handling, care, and welfare. Ten Good Production Practices Ohio 4-H has adopted The Ten Good Production Practices (GPPs) below as a key component of the Youth Food Animal Quality Assurance program. The program s highest priorities are ensuring 4-H members remain as safe as possible, project animals receive high quality care, and animals entering the food chain are safe for the consumer. Review and study the GPPs below and answer the questions that follow. 1. Use an appropriate veterinarian/client/patient relationship (VCPR) as the basis for medication decision-making. a. There are many situations in which a veterinarian s advice or care is needed to maintain the health of your project animal. b. Choose a veterinarian ahead of time so you are prepared when faced with an injury or illness which needs veterinary care. 2. Establish and implement an efficient and effective health management plan. a. Be sure you know what your animals will need from you before you bring them home. b. Use your livestock resource manual and/or seek out a trusted, knowledgeable person. c. Proper animal care requires a financial investment. Think about the total cost of your project before purchasing an animal. d. Daily care and observation is a requirement for all projects. If you are raising your project animal away from your home, be sure you can meet this commitment or that you have an agreement in place with others who will be helping. 4-H Members are required to have a significant role in daily animal care. 3. Use antibiotics responsibly. a. Use professional veterinary advice to make decisions about antibiotic use. b. Be sure to include all antibiotic use on your treatment records, including medicated feeds. 4. Properly store and administer animal health products. a. Read and follow instructions on all drug labels for storage and administration of products. b. If your animal needs treatment, learn how to properly administer products to your animal or seek the help of a trusted, knowledgeable person to do it for you. 5. Follow proper feed processing protocols. a. Provide clean water at all times. b. Choose feed appropriate for the species, age, and purpose of your animal. c. Store feed in a clean, dry space free of rodents or insect infestation. d. If you use medicated feeds, take care not to contaminate other feedstuffs. 6. Establish effective animal identification, medication records, and withdrawal times. a. This record book contains places to record the minimum requirements. b. Additional records can be kept in a notebook or on a computer if desired. c. Treatment records must be kept for at least one year after the project is complete. Page 8

9 7. Practice good environmental stewardship a. Develop a plan for managing animal waste (manure). b. If an animal dies, investigate the local rules for handling the remains. 8. Maintain proper workplace safety (for yourself and others). a. Use safe animal handling practices, even at home. b. If your animals are housed at a facility away from your home, make a plan for what to do in case of severe weather, a fire, or other disaster. c. Post the address of the facility in any easy-to-find place so it is readily available in case of an emergency. 9. Provide proper animal handling and care (to improve animal well-being). a. Observe your animals daily. Take note of their behavior and appearance, as well as how much they are eating and drinking. Understanding normal behavior is the first step in recognizing signs of illness or injury. b. Maintain a clean living environment for your animal. c. Minimize animal stress by monitoring environmental conditions (such as temperature) and using appropriate handling techniques. 10. Utilize tools for continuous improvement. a. Take the time to learn how to properly care for and handle your animal from a knowledgeable, reputable person. b. Review GPPs annually and take note of any improvements needed to meet goals.
