1. Goal Setting and Buy-In
Angie Siemens, Ph.D.
V.P. Food Safety, Quality and Regulatory
Cargill Protein Group

2. GOAL: Reduce antibiotic use
in turkeys
Why: Slow the development of
antibiotic resistance
Where: Turkey growing operations
Who: Over 700 family farms growing
turkeys for Honeysuckle White
and Shady Brook Farms brands
How: Eliminate the use of antibiotics
labeled and used for growth
promotion
When: 2015 - the first major turkey
brands to implement

3. GOAL: Reduce antibiotic use
and offer choice for consumers
Why: Slow development of antibiotic
resistance
Where: Turkey growing operations
Who: Family farms growing turkeys for
Honest Turkey™ brand
How: Eliminate the use of antibiotics in
turkeys raised for Honest Turkey™
and meet antibiotic stewardship
plan
When: Started in 2016 with product
available in 2017
Will treat turkeys that get sick but will be
moved to separate supply chain

4. GOAL: Reduce shared class
antibiotic use in beef cattle
feedlots
Why: Slow development of antibiotic
resistance
Where: 8 Beef cattle feedlots
Who: Cargill and strategic partners
How: Remove 20% of shared class
antibiotics during feeding period
of @1.2 million head
When: Completed March 2016 and
continuing
Next steps: Continuing to evaluate impact
and expanding reduction in some feedlots
and supply chains

5. GOAL: Increase the
implementation of Beef Antibiotic
Stewardship Programs through
BQA
Why: Slow development of antibiotic
resistance
How: Increasing awareness of
judicious use of antibiotics within a
management system
Where: U.S. Feed lot production
Who: 90% of Cargill fed beef cattle
suppliers
When: 2018 – close to reach our goal
now
Next steps: Working with industry to
develop and implement BQA-like
programs in Canada and other cattle
supply chains

6. GOAL: Harmonize the Principles of
Animal Agricultural Antibiotic
Stewardship Programs
Why: Drive best practices for slowing
the development of antibiotic
resistance and improve the Animal
Ag One Health message
How: Develop one list of Animal Ag
Antibiotic Stewardship principles
to be used in all species
management systems

7. What have we learned
This is complex
The “Why” and “Why me” still have to be
addressed
Cannot address antibiotic use outside of a
stewardship program that encompasses
animal welfare, animal well-being and food
safety.
Need to determine what the measurement
(currency) is to show success
Progress is slower (buy-in):
As you move from direct control
to indirect control
As you involve more supply chains
Lack of visibility does not mean lack of
activity
Animal Agriculture needs to tell our story
better both internally and externally Source: Fanpop.com
