August 25, 2010 — Sherrie Niekamp
The National Pork Board is soliciting proposals from qualified independent organizations to perform a third-party verification of the Pork Checkoff's Pork Quality Assurance Plus® program. The objectives of this effort are to measure the effectiveness of the PQA Plus program and the level of implementation of the care and well-being principles defined in PQA Plus. The results of the verification will be used in aggregate to identify areas of animal care that may require additional education and training as well as areas of the program that need additional improvement.
