Good man.At the end of the inspection he said all was well and did I want to make any comments on bord bia or the inspection. Never got asked that before but I just said I couldn't help but wonder at the actual usefulness of Bord Bia as I couldn't see any extra money in my pocket because of it rather a way for the factories to pay less for any number of reasons. He did note it down but I suppose that got the shredder back at the office.
dates of replenishment too, and what usedAre they in a shed ? Oh ya, bait points for rat poison must be written down as well.
That would be the generic answer, " You would be getting less if you weren't QA"The last lad that inspected me here didn't care one jot for the outside stuff but by God he went through the books with a fine tooth comb.

Make sure you have prescriptions for any medicines you used and make doubly sure you've accounted for every cc of those medicines. The animal remedies book is the number 1 thing they will comb through. If you've lost any animals make sure you've the knackers receipt. After that have the yard fairly tidy and machinery and such neatly parked. The last lad that inspected me here didn't care one jot for the outside stuff but by God he went through the books with a fine tooth comb. Fert used and where it went, spray records and of coarse the animal injections and treatments. He took the most pathetic look around the yard that it was almost laughable and I think he only did that because I asked him "are you not going to look around outside as well"?. In fairness he was friendly enough but brand new at the job so I suppose he was doing it by the book.

Have been asked for the details of my fertilizer usage a few times plus when you spread slurry and the length of the grazing season then you get back a letter showing your performance in percentage terms of efficiency for the various aspects relative to output.Try here I think:

What do they want to know about your fertiliser usage for, thats nothing to do with the animals???
or is it for this Origin Green idea and looking at the Greenhouse gas contributions etc??:scratchhead:
Once you've the bord bia book filled in or your own records your perfect. If you've an idea of what fert you used it would be no harm to write down in case your asked. They seem to ask me every time anyway. Just on your dog's worm dose, write that into your remedies book. What it was and when he got it.We were in bord bia a few yrs now but since the father passing i have not been the best at the records but i have most of it i can get that iv jotted down is this all in the bord bia green book ? Or is there other books to be filled ? The hears register is paper not gone online yet . All the doseing and pour ons iv used iv kept reciepts and same for feed and its all in half tonne bags . All bait points are drew out on a little map . The dogs worm dose has prescription .
You should have gotten a bord bia pack delivered by registered post. The books for records are in it. One thing they look at is treatments and that withdrawal date clearance is noted. They will then look at an animal that was sold and check the withdrawal was up. Had my inspection on Monday. Was pulled up on no eye wash in medical kit and the dairy floor. Got 96%
I got the pack in April and the lad rang me in May. I put him off until Monday. With the weather the way it was I wasn't ready for the inspection. I am in the dairy scheme . This was my 3rd inspection
