MVMa’s Quality assurance Program

What is the Missouri stocker/Feeder Quality assurance Program?

The Missouri Stocker Feeder Quality Assurance Program is designed to meet the quality improvement and pre-conditioning needs of producers, feeders, and consumers. This program educates participants in immunology, animal well-being and the economics of disease. Participation in the program increases producer accountability for quality and safety of the product they sell.

How Does the Program Work?

Veterinarians must be MSFQAP and BQA-certified by February 2024. Veterinarians are certified by MVMA MSFQAP in-person or online training. Producers are MSFQAP-certified by their veterinarian. Veterinarians and producers learn how they can influence carcass quality and consumer confidence by monitoring where and when injections are administered.

Once certified, the producer may participate in the program at one of three levels (white, red or blue tag). The three-level approach allows all producers the opportunity to match their level of management and facilities to the level of participation.

level 1: show-Me select (White tag)

• Participating veterinarians and producers must be certified.

• Calves must be properly identified with an approved ear tag. Tag numbers will be listed on an approved certificate.

• External and internal parasite control is administered.

• Calves will be dehorned and healed. Calves will also be castrated with a knife and healed or verified to be steers.

• Vaccinations: 7-way clostridial, IBR, BVD, PI3,

BRSV, Mannheimia haemolytica with leukotoxoid, (Histophilus is optional.)

• Cattle must be born on the producer’s farm. A range of birthdates or the birthdate of the oldest calf in the group must be recorded.

• Bull in and out dates will be provided.

• Individual calf treatments will be recorded to include date, product, dosage, route of administration and injection site.

• Vaccinations must be given no younger than four months of age and at least 21 days before sale.

level 2: show-Me superior (red tag)

• Weaned 45 days before offering for sale.

• Meet Level 1 requirements - NOTE: Initial vaccinations may be given at an age determined by an attending veterinarian.

• In addition, a second round of vaccinations must be given using the following guidelines:

• A 7-way clostridial as well as a modified live vaccine containing IBR, PI3, BVD and BRSV must be administered;

• Histophilus somni is optional;

• Only one dose of Manheimia heamolytica is required if that dose is administered to calves 5 months of age or older;

• The time frame between initial and second vaccinations must be a minimum of 21 days and all vaccinations must be completed at least seven days prior to sale;

• If a veterinarian determines initial vaccinations should be given to calves less than 4 months of age then second vaccinations must not occur until calves are 5 months of age or older.

level 3: show-Me supreme (Blue tag)

• Meet Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.

• All cattle must be tested and be negative for persistent BVD infection.

• Genetic information is optional.
