Effective livestock traceability is essential to protect the biosecurity of our thriving livestock industries and our premium quality brands, and to ensure we restore access to international markets as soon as possible in the event of an emergency animal disease.
Industry and Government have agreed to adopt mandatory electronic identification of sheep and goats with Agriculture Ministers across Australia agreeing to work towards implementation by 1 January 2025.Whilst a range of industry and government discussions are occurring nationally, New South Wales as the largest sheep and goat production state, is keen to hear your views first hand.
This webinar is part of a series of targeted online consultation sessions with key industry sectors that will help inform the initial development of an implementation plan for sheep and goat individual electronic identification (eID) within New South Wales.
This series of webinars will support early consideration on key implementation issues such as the proposed timeframe and industry assistance. There will be ongoing industry consultation and engagement in 2023 as we drive forward a plan for New South Wales.
