The Swine Residue Risk Assessment application, from Zoetis, serves as a simple way to review practices and evaluate the risk levels of a pork product before enters the pork supply. The app is available for free in the Apple App Store for iPad devices.The assessment app is created with veterinary expert input and asks questions about on-farm animal care and management practices. A weighted scoring system assigns points based on the likelihood of the risk of a violative antibiotic residue in pork. The assessment rates a farm’s risk level as low, moderate or high, and it suggests next steps to maintain low risk or address higher-risk issues. Users can send the results to any email address, allowing veterinarians, producers or caregivers to easily view them.
