1 Massey University Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences Veterinary Public Health, Food Safety & Quality Management Course MEATWORKS PRACTICAL COURSE INFORMATION BOOKLET
2 INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS AND SUPERVISORS As a component of you will be required to spend three days of a roster rotation visiting meat processing premises and other properties associated with processing animal products that are supervised by the MPI. The remaining two days of the week will not be directly supervised by MPI and are intended to be spent working on assignments based on the practical visits. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the practical visits are: 1. To gain an understanding of: - processing methods at the premises you visit (food and by products) - the principles of hygiene and food safety within the meat/food industry - the requirements when submitting injured stock for slaughter - post mortem meat inspection - the role of the MPI veterinarian in a meat processing premises. 2. To complete an assignment relating to the meat/food processing industry. The topic for the project will be specified by your MPI supervisor on day one of the visit. GUIDELINES MPI has teams based throughout NZ. Each week three MPI teams will be available to host students. The teams available each week are specified in Appendix 2. A notice will be posted on the 5 th year notice board and students will be asked to put their names down for one of the teams available to them for the week they are rostered for their public health practicals. A minimum of two and a maximum of four students may visit any MPI team in any week. You will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation, meals and transport to the location. From the location to the premises visited, your MPI supervisor will provide transport where practical. In some locations students may need to transport themselves to the premises visited and in these circumstances the MPI supervisor will indicate the alternative arrangements on day one of the visit. Students are advised to contact the MPI supervisor in advance of their visit in circumstances where there are issues with providing their own transport between premises eg: where they are flying into the location and will not have access to a vehicle. 2
3 Some funds have been made available by MPI to assist with travel and accommodation costs. Accommodation should be arranged well in advance, where possible. Do not expect your MPI course supervisors to find accommodation for you. If students do not apply themselves satisfactorily or in any way cause a nuisance, the MPI course supervisor has the authority to ask them to leave the practical, and report the matter to the Lecturer. Satisfactory performance is part of the continual assessment of progress that is taken into account when assessing results of final examinations. Report to the office at the address detailed in Appendix 2 at 8.30 am on day one. Start times for the remainder of the week will be specified on day one by your MPI course supervisor. Note, you may be required to work outside of a normal 8 5pm working day. You will need to take a completed medical certificate with you (see Appendix 3). PROTECTIVE CLOTHING The wearing of white hats, hairnets, white overalls and white gumboots is obligatory in all edible departments. Long beards must also be effectively covered. You will be supplied with protective clothing required for your premises visits. APPEARANCE The Veterinary profession as a whole will be reflected in your general appearance and attitude. Ensure your protective clothing is fresh and clean at the start of each day and that you observe all required hygiene routines. This will include a requirement to remove jewellery and watches before entering edible departments. FOOD It is recommended that students bring lunch with them to each day of the practical course. At some locations there may be an opportunity to purchase food, e.g. from a premises canteen. TASKS To assist you to gain the most from your visit, a list of tasks is attached (Appendix 4). Your MPI supervisor will work through this with you. 3
4 MEAT HYGIENE ASSIGNMENTS OBJECTIVE To study the efficiency of a specified operation or process at the premises you are visiting, in relation to the general principles of animal welfare, meat hygiene or the quality of edible or inedible products. ASSIGNMENT AREAS The assignment topic applicable to your team is specified in Appendix 1. If your roster group would prefer, you may the Regional Technical Specialist who is responsible for facilitating your visit with an alternative topic suggestion. The alternative topic needs to be agreed a minimum of one week in advance of your roster group visit. Your alternative topic will only be acceptable if it is agreed with the Regional Technical Specialist in advance of your visit. You should have some time in your self directed study times to do some background reading on your project topic. STUDY GUIDELINES You must make sure that you have obtained all data and information while you are at the visit. Some information will be able to be accessed via the internet at ASSIGNMENT One completed assignment is required for each group of students visiting a MPI team, i.e. if there are four students visiting the Marlborough MPI team during the roster week of 3 February, those four students will collectively produce an assignment. Guidelines for assignments can be found on the Stream site you will be putting your work on Stream where it will be available for other students to see, and for assessment by peer-review. An extensive literature search is not required, however marks will be given for correct usage of at least two published scientific journal articles within your assignment. Other than that it is generally sufficient to refer to lecture notes, relevant acts and regulations and in particular, to the Industry Standard (IS) GMP Manuals and other guidance materials which are available at the following website address:. Students are expected to produce an assignment written to scientific standards, using appropriate language and structure, following the guidelines provided. Please note that your work may be sent to the premises concerned after marking, so you should be aiming to produce a document that reflects your professional standing and abilities. Each team should produce their report independently. Plagiarism from any source is unacceptable, including from websites and other students work. For an explanation of plagiarism and techniques for avoiding it, see OWLL: 4
5 DEADLINE Your assignment should be completed on Stream by Friday 23 May Your group s peer review of another group s assignment should be completed by 30 June ASSESSMENT Instructions on the assessment criteria and how to perform the peer review assessment can be found on Stream. 5
