Animal Welfare Training: Next Stop Queensland!
On 26 July, the Naracoorte Saleyards hosted the Animal Welfare for Saleyards Training course, which was well supported by saleyards employees and agents, and most attendees are well on their way to receiving their certificates.
Following the success of the Naracoorte session, we would like to be able to expand this valuable training to Queensland. We are currently seeking expressions of interest from both attendees who wish to participate and saleyards interested in hosting future workshops - possibly a northern venue and a southern venue to reduce travel for those who wish to attend.
If this is something that interests you and your staff, please complete this quick survey to help with planning or scan this QR code.
Is the animal fit to load?
When transporting livestock, it’s essential that they are prepared and managed in a way that reduces stress and minimises risks to animal welfare.
Producers, agents, transporters and buyers must understand their roles and responsibilities when transporting livestock to comply with the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for the Land Transport of Livestock and relevant state and territory legislation.
