This planning workshop will be coupled with an afternoon information session covering the use of National Vendor Declarations and livestock traceability through the National Livestock Identification System database.
The workshop will take place from 10am to 3pm at the DPI Pridham Conference Centre.
You can expect to improve your ability to assess the biosecurity risks on your farm and learn what steps to put in place to address them.
Each workshop will be delivered by staff with expertise in farm hygiene, pests and weeds and animal biosecurity.
