Canadian Quality Milk Manage all chemicals used on the farm, regardless of whether they are specific to dairy animals, in a manner that will avoid the accidental introduction of these products into the feed and, as a result, into milk and meat. Always follow label directions when applying pesticides (e.g. herbicides, rat poison) to pastures, crops, surrounding land or in farm buildings. • Check labels for compatibility with lactating and meat animals, withdrawal requirements for milk and meat, and proper application rates of products to the conditions, plants and feeds being targeted. • Pay particular attention to ‘Days Before Grazing’ intervals before allowing animals access to pastures. Follow “Pre-harvesting Intervals” or “Days To Harvest” for forage fields. • Be aware of any cautions regarding toxicities to animals (e.g. rat poison). • Fly sprays and pesticides used in the milk house or milking parlour must be registered for use in those areas. Follow all recommended procedures for using, mixing and applying pesticides. Never mix and store any pesticides nor rinse or clean pesticide containers or equipment near dairy feed or milking facilities. Beware of other factors when handling pesticides or chemicals: • Avoid over-spraying and spills. • Never use equipment or facilities meant for dairy use to mix chemicals or drug treatments ⎯ residues will remain on equipment or allow for cross-contamination through spills, air dispersal, back-siphoning effects, etc. Remember that water systems are often connected; therefore, contaminating water in one section of the farm may contaminate the entire water system. Keep an inventory record of all pesticides used on the farm. Check pasture for signs of pesticide drift when walking the fields by looking for herbicide injury symptoms on forage plants. If symptoms are present, investigate further before allowing animals to enter. Ensure all individuals on the farm who work with pesticides: • Know where and how pesticides used on the farm should be mixed, used, stored, and disposed of. • Know how to dispose of empty pesticide containers. • Follow good hygiene practices after handling pesticides, chemicals and drugs. 1.2.2 Pesticide and Chemical Storage and Handling Pesticide is the generic term used for any substance used to destroy an organism harmful to plants, animals, stored food, etc. More specific terms are herbicides (e.g. weeds), avicides (e.g. birds), insecticides (e.g. insects), and rodenticides (e.g. rodents). Generally, dairy cattle are at risk of coming into contact with contaminants in areas where these products are stored and mixed. Improper storage and handling practices can cause spills and leaks or cross-contamination with feedstuffs. The following are some practices that will help minimize risk: 1—4 June 2010
Canadian Quality Milk Store pesticides, treated seed and fertilizers separately and in original containers in a location where there is no livestock access or risk of contaminating milk, and according to provincial dairy regulations. • Crop or animal pesticides must not be stored in the milk house, unless registered for use in the milk house. • Pesticides, cleaners and other substances that are not for use on or in cattle must not be stored with livestock medicines and chemicals. They must be stored separately (e.g. another cupboard or different shelves). Pesticides should pose no risk of contaminating feed, milking equipment or products used on milk contact surfaces. • Access to the storage area must not be through the milking parlour or milk house because, if it was, a spill during transport could contaminate the parlour/milk house equipment resulting in a food safety hazard. If there are no other options, producers must be able to show how they can safely transport those products or they must re-locate them. Handle pesticides, treated seed, and fertilizers properly. • If any hose connected to the milk house or barn water system is used to fill pesticide sprayers or containers, use an anti-backflow device or air-gap on the hose to effectively prevent back-siphoning; hence, contamination of lines or cisterns. • Never mix any pesticides, treated seed or fertilizers near dairy feed or milking facilities. Do so only in a properly designed storage or handling facility. • Never clean or rinse any equipment related to the use of pesticides, treated seeds or fertilizers near dairy feed or milking facilities. • Dispose of containers properly. Triple rinse to flush remaining pesticide. Bring empty and rinsed containers to designated disposal areas. • Follow proper spill clean-up procedures. Check product Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for specific instructions. For further information contact your provincial or regional authority on pesticides. 1.3 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT 1.3.1 Cattle Environment 1.3.1.1 Housing The goal of dairy cattle housing is to provide an environment that is clean, dry, comfortable and safe. A clean environment will help reduce hazards to milk safety that are related to dirty udders (e.g. bacteria). Cattle housing must be designed and maintained to ensure the cleanliness June 2010 1—5
