Carroll explained that the PQA PLUS the TQA trainings address two consumer priorities, pork safety and animal well-being. “Additionally, packers continue to require swine caregivers and transporters to keep up-to-date on their certifications before accepting hogs,” she said. “The commitments to these quality assurance programs by packers, producers, and transporters each contributes to the safety and quality of our pork products.” To register These trainings are offered at no cost, registration is strongly encouraged to ensure enough manuals are available.

Programming details The National Pork Board recently completed their update of the PQA PLUS materials, which now more closely matches the format of the Common Swine Industry Audit. This SDSU Extension training in Mitchell is the first training to use the updated PQA PLUS version 3.0. Producers with current certifications are not expected to re-certify in the new version until their certification is up for expiration. However, if producers would like to see what the new version is like, they may attend and still receive certification that has a new expiration date.
