The document summarizes a presentation about the Common Swine Industry Audit (CSIA). It discusses the audit process and what will be evaluated, including animal welfare benchmarks, facility standards, records, transportation, and food safety. Producers should have standard operating procedures, be able to articulate their animal care practices, and have documentation like treatment records in order to pass the audit. The CSIA focuses heavily on observing pigs directly and ensuring their health and welfare.

Editor's Notes
- Background – history of workshop development Purpose- to help make doable for small producers without internet/computer skills Where – auditors are now packer auditor (independent) soon to be PACCO Clickers are the slides…. 3 to 12 brief overview
- Each module will approximately be 10 minutes in length and provide producers with background information on the topic, what auditors will be evaluating and then ask producers to complete exercises to confirm their knowledge. The modules can be completed individually or as a complete series. They will be available on USB drive and for downloading from pork.org, in both English and Spanish. The modules will produce a certificate of completion at the end of the module and producers are encouraged to use those as evidence of caretaker training during an audit.
- Goal is to mention the areas that might be overlooked that will need some attention from questions 6 through 89
- Cover the highpoints of an internal audit in the next few slides.
- PQA Plus & TQA are not going away. They will continue and are very vital programs. Both programs provide continuing education to those in the pork industry and certification will still be offered and needed to be renewed every 3 years. CSIA is an audit program initiated at the packer level. The interval or frequency of audit request for pig sites will very depending on packer. I have heard from some packers that they have a goal of visiting every site that provides them with pigs in 2016 and plan to do that yearly there after. Other packers have said they plan to visit all pig providers, but not necessarily every site, but at least one or several sites within a system. Other packers have said they will visit all site supplying pigs to them on a 3 year rotation or another interval of time as they see fit.
- Bottom line – the auditors will expect employees to be trained and know what they are doing.
- Intentionally applying prods to sensitive parts of the animal such as the eyes, ears, nose, genitals or rectum Malicious hitting/beating of an animal. This includes forcefully striking an animal with closed fist, foot, handling equipment (e.g. sorting board, rattle paddle, etc.), or other hard/solid objects that can cause pain, bruising or injury Driving pigs off high ledges, platforms or steps while moving, loading or unloading (animals are falling to the ground) Dragging of conscious animals by any part of their body except in the rare case where a non-ambulatory animal must be moved from a life threatening situation. Non-ambulatory pigs may be moved by using a drag mat. Purposefully dropping or throwing animals Causing physical damage to the snout or tusks of a boar as a means to reduce aggression (this excludes nose ringing and tusk trimming) Failure to provide food, water and care that results in significant harm or death to animals If a willful act of abuse is witnessed by the auditor, the auditor should immediately intervene to stop the situation if reasonably and safely possible. The incident is reported to the site representative, farm owner and the manager. Although this will result in automatic failure, the audit should be completed during this visit to gather the rest of the data for the site.
- There are a few tools at your disposal for moving ill, injured, or fatigued pigs. And remember, at the plant, it is appropriate to ask for help if you are using one of the below tools and safe use requires a second handler. Stretchers – A stretcher requires two people to gently roll the animal onto it. Handlers should hold/push at the flank and under the forelegs. To prevent dislocation and bruising the animal’s legs should not be held. Sleds – Tip the sled onto its side and roll the pig into the sled. A second handler may need to help hold the sled while the pig is rolled into it. The animal is more likely to allow itself to be pulled in the sled if it is laying on its side rather than its stomach. If a pig is rolled onto its stomach it may stand up and jump out of the sled. Hand Carts – A cart can be modified with an enlarged platform and back board. The platform is slid under the pig or the pig is rolled onto the platform. The cart can then be tilted back to move the pig. A second handler should be present to assist in loading and steadying the pig on the platform. Mechanized Equipment – If a skid-steer loader is used, the pig should be rolled into the bucket using the same techniques previously described. It is recommended that two handlers be used, one to operate the machine and one to roll the pig into the bucket. Loaders should be equipped with a special lid attachment on the bucket to prevent the pig from jumping or falling out. As in all other methods, the pigs must be off-loaded by gently rolling or lifting them out of the bucket. Loading pigs into the bucket using a wall, partition or fence is not acceptable.
- Question 34 Yes •Caretaker can articulate tracking method that meets FDA requirements Interview No •Caretaker can not articulate tracking method and •If attempted the information does not meet FDA requirements
- Who do you tell if you have concerns about animal care or handling? Question 38 - Caretakers responsible for euthanasia have documented training and are familiar with the site’s euthanasia plan. Trained caretakers should be able to articulate the farm’s method of euthanasia for which they are responsible, handling methods used during euthanasia, confirmation of insensibility and death, carcass disposal, and cleaning and maintenance of equipment and/or supplies. Caretaker clearly articulate the sites euthanasia plan, this must include all of the following: Animal restraint Method used Insensibility checks Confirmation of death Carcass disposal Clean equipment after use and where extra supplies are stored on site Q39. Can caretakers articulate the site’s zero tolerance policy for willful acts of abuse and how to report abuse? Yes •All interviewed caretakers clearly articulate what the policy is and how to report abuse •Interview a few caretakers Can you tell me what your sites policy is for zero tolerance regarding willful acts of abuse? Can you tell me what reporting process you would go through if you did see a willful act of abuse? No •One or more of the interviewed caretakers could not articulate the sites zero tolerance policy for willful acts of abuse and/or •One or more of the interviewed caretakers could not articulate the sites reporting process if they did see a willful act of abuse
- FDA Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) 7125.37 – Proper Drug Use and Residue Avoidance by Non-veterinarians outlines the practices and procedures the FDA would expect to see as part of the operations’ standard operating procedure for using animal health products. As one part of this CPG, the FDA expects producers to maintain medication and treatment records that will indicate: The date(s) of treatment, including last date of administration. The animals treated. The drug(s) administered. The route of administration. The person who administered each drug. The amount of each drug administered The withdrawal time prior to harvest. Suggested Additional Information for Tracking Treatments (Table 4.): 1. The approximate body weight of the animal treated to verify that the amount of drug given was appropriate. 2. The medical problem that prompted treating the animal, such as pneumonia, diarrhea, etc. 3. Calculated date the withdrawal will be completed. 4. Extra-Label Drug Use (ELDU). a. Name and contact information of the veterinarian for the ELDU
