Youth Livestock Quality Assurance (YLQA) Training
The Arizona Youth Livestock Quality Assurance and Food Safety Program emphasizes good management practices in the handling and use of animal health products, and encourages youth producers to review their approach to their animal health programs. By completing this program, youth producers demonstrate their commitment to "quality assured" meat production. Youth livestock producers must take responsibility for the production of a safe food product through following the 8 Good Production Practices and participating in a certification workshop once every three years. Each producer should assume the responsibility for the role they play in delivering a quality product to their respective market. See the Quality Assurance & Food Safety website for more information, including the date and location of Quality Assurance Workshops near you.
