Each workshop provides hands-on training to producers about developing an on-farm biosecurity plan for their property.
Cattle Council of Australia and Sheepmeat Council of Australia have established the workshops to assist producers in the wake of two important changes which require producers to effectively manage biosecurity risks on-farm: The integration of biosecurity requirements into the Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program for cattle, sheep and goats; and a new national farm-based approach to Johne’s disease management in cattle using the voluntary risk management tool Johne’s Beef Assurance Score (J-BAS).
Integrity Systems Company (a subsidiary of Meat & Livestock Australia) will be in attendance to discuss changes to the LPA program, which will come into effect from October 1. Workshops will be held in Inverell (August 29), Casino (Aug 30), Yass (Sept 4), Wagga Wagga (Sept 6) and Tamworth (Septr 12). Register at www.livestockbionet.eventbrite.com.au
