Veterinarians are the first contact persons for livestock owners in poultry, pig and cattle farming companies when it comes to questions about occupational health management. To participate in the QS scheme, every livestock owner must therefore be able to present a written agreement with a veterinarian who is responsible for stock care.
QS provides a sample veterinary care contract for this purpose. In terms of content, the agreement defines the minimum services that the veterinarian and the livestock owner must provide as part of stock care.
As part of this care, both parties can make use of additional documents, such as the protocol for the veterinary stock care. The protocol can be used as proof of documentation at the end of audit and is available for pig farming companies.
If medicines and vaccines are used by the livestock owner or a veterinarian, these must be documented. For this purpose, QS provides a sample form for documenting the use of medicines and vaccines (Stock book on medicine application
).
