Foot and Mouth special: your sheep and wool questions answered

Join Andrew Henderson chair of SAFEMEAT who discusses in detail how the industry is protected, what you can do to help protect the industry, what happens if the disease is found in Australia and the sheep and wool ramifications. In May 2018 the National Biosecurity Committee (NBC) tasked SAFEMEAT with developing a range of reform recommendations to enhance the existing national livestock traceability system. SAFEMEAT worked closely with its stakeholder group to deliver the report Reform Recommendations for Australia’s Livestock Traceability System, to NBC for consideration in March 2020. SAFEMEAT’s recommendations encompass a wide variety of reform options that seek to deliver enhanced biosecurity and traceability outcomes for livestock industries, jurisdictions and the Commonwealth government.
