HACCP plan for a food animal producing farm as devel
oped for the food processing industry.
Animal Production Researchers, Public Health Special
ists, Veterinarians and those involved in food animal pro
duction now believe that proper management practices
when followed, will allow production of foods of animal
origin almost free of pathogens, improve quality and safety
of products. Extension programs are currently being devel
oped to assist animal producers in adopting sound manage
ment practices such that the animals produced on the farm
are free of pathogens.
Many of these management practices, called “best man
agement practices,” will be based on the principles of
HACCP and can be put into practice for different types of
food animal operations, such as milking, farm hygiene, calf
rearing, and control of other infectious diseases in animals.
A program called as New York State Cattle Health Assur
ance Program (NYSCHAP) is currently being developed
and tested in New York State, while another HACCP-like
program developed by Dr. Cullor at the University of Cali
fornia called as Breakthrough Management (BTM) has also
been developed and used successfully to improve milk qual
ity. To conclude, programs that embrace the philosophy and
principles of HACCP will soon become a reality and be
widely used on many food animal producing farms to assure
food safety.
