Abstract
This study examined the safety and productivity data analysis of a beef cattle farm with Japanese black cattle over a 4-year period following the implementation of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system in 2018. The critical control point was "the selection of shipping cows" and no deviations from critical limits were observed, indicating the beef were safe. In addition, cattle treated for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) less than 6 months after the introduction of cattle decreased, while the average Beef Marbling Standard and quality of meat (i.e., grades A5, B5, A4, and B4) in beef carcass trade standard scores increased. These results suggest that the HACCP system had a positive effect on the health and meat quality of the cattle.
