New Meat Animal Quality Assurance (MAQA) Website
The Meat Animal Quality Assurance (MAQA) program created a new website for ease of access for content and information. The MAQA program teaches educational understanding on the basics of animal husbandry and general management practices in raising a project animal. This program provides a foundation of animal management for youth of all ages. Research from University of Nebraska indicates youth change their management behaviors after receiving Quality Assurance instruction and achieve higher scores on management quizzes, Skillathon contests and Premier Exhibitor type contests. Youth have a better understanding of animal agriculture. Access the website for more details on the program, study materials, MAQA meetings and information for advisors. https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/maqa/
