With a continued emphasis on Beef Quality Assurance, the beef industry is tightening its injection site zone by a hand's width in front of the previous zone. To help inform and remind producers to administer injections in the new injection site zone and to follow several easy-to-implement BQA practices, Novartis Animal Vaccines, Inc. is offering cattle producers, feedyard managers and owners a free BQA poster. The poster is ideal for placing in a processing area and an employee lunch break area.

The 25-inch by 19-inch four-color poster provides a large graphic illustrating the beef industry's previous injection site zone and the new injection site zone. It also lists several easy-to-implement BQA practices.

"BQA takes an industry effort, and Novartis is pleased to assist the beef industry in helping educate producers about BQA practices," states Ron Cravens, D.V.M. and President of Novartis Animal Vaccines.

To obtain a free poster, individuals are asked to contact their Novartis sales representative or call 1-800-454-3424, ext. 358. ©
