Categories are: Protein - All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products,

nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. Beans and peas are also part of the Vegetable Group. EX: Dishes that contain meat or meat alternative such as eggs, dry beans, peas or peanut butter.

Fruit and Vegetable - Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the Fruit Group. Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be whole, cut-up, or pureed. Any vegetable or 100% vegeta-ble juice counts as a member of the Vegetable Group. Vegetables may be raw or cooked; fresh, fro-zen, canned, or dried/dehydrated; and may be whole, cut-up, or mashed. Vegetables are organized into 5 subgroups, based on their nutrient content. EX: Dishes that accompany a main dish (salads, relish trays, cooked fruits and vegetables)

Grains - Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain prod-uct. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole Grains and Refined Grains. Whole grains contain the en-tire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm. EX: Quick, yeast, bread mixes, rice, pasta

Dairy - All fluid milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Most Dairy Group choices should be fat-free or low-fat. Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content are part of the group. Foods made from milk that have little to no calcium, such as cream cheese, cream, and butter, are not. Calcium-fortified soymilk (soy beverage) is also part of the Dairy Group. EX: Dishes selected must contain a minimum of a half serving of dairy per serving (macaroni and cheese, drinks, custards, cheese logs, etc.)

Food Forum Presentations will take place during wait times at County Food Show. Individuals and Groups are encouraged to prepare a presentation based on the skills and knowledge of the 4-H food project. Remember, this can count towards a leadership project in your recordbook. In order to plan accordingly, please contact the office with your plans by Oct. 20th.

VETERINARY FEED DIRECTIVE May AFFECT OUR 4-H MEMBERS ESPECIALLY OUR SWINE

In 1996 the Animal Drug Availability Act established a new category of drugs, the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD). These were antibi-otics used in animal feeds for growth promotion as well as disease prevention, control, and treatment purposes. This allowed livestock, poultry and aquaculture producers’ access to low level antibiotics in feed without a prescription. On October 1st, 2015, the VFD was amended. Antibiotics that are medically important to humans are no longer fed to animals without the permission and supervision of a veterinarian. It also ends the labeling those antibiotics for growth promotion purposes in animals. This change affects feed antibiotics only. The change was made out of concern for the development of antibiotic resistance in humans as a result of long term feeding to animals. No link has ever been found. Antibiotics administered to animals in a bolus, drench, injection, or water are not affected by this change in the VFD. If you are using or are going to be using a feed that contains one of the antibiotics listed, you will need to obtain a written VFD order from your veterinarian in order to purchase or mix your feed. You will also need to have a Valid Client Patient Relationship (VCPR) with your veterinarian. This relationship is based on three points: 1) The veterinarian assumes responsibility for making medical judgments re-garding the health of the animals and the client agrees to follow the veterinarian’s directions; 2) The veterinarian possesses sufficient knowledge of the animals to begin a general or preliminary diagnosis of the medical condition of the animals; and 3) The veterinarian is available to provide follow-up care in the case of an adverse reaction or treatment failure. If a VFD is needed for your feed, contact your veterinarian to establish your VCPR. It will be needed before any feed containing antibi-otics can be mixed or purchased. Once you have purchased the feed follow the label directions exactly, especially the amount fed, the dura-tion of feeding and withdrawal time. Once you have purchased the feed follow the label directions exactly. For more information contact your local county Extension agent or veterinarian. For more information: The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) and Related Information for Livestock Producers. Dr. F.T. McCollum. http://animalscience.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2015/10/The-Veterinary-Feed-Directive-SEP-2015-V.2-rel.pdf.
