摘要:Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is a program designed to educate U.S. beef producers on best management practices to ensure production of a safe, wholesome beef product and humane animal care. The program must be sufficiently nimble to rapidly incorporate the demands of an ever-changing food system.

The program has grown to over 16,000 users, with training modules delivered in English and Spanish, to beef producers throughout the U.S.
