Webinar recordings: Biosecurity support in your state or territory

Help with completing a PIC reconciliation  

Conducting a Property Identification Code (PIC) reconciliation to ensure your NLIS account is up to date is recommended to ensure livestock traceability and farm biosecurity.  

A PIC reconciliation compares the tags you have on your property with what the NLIS database has recorded for your property. Any differences must be reconciled so the database accurately reflects what animals (devices) are on your property. For help with completing a PIC reconciliation:  

• Read this FAQ 
• Access NLIS how-to guides for conducting a PIC reconciliation (by file upload) or conducting a PIC reconciliation (by typing in details). 

Biosecurity preparedness – practical actions for livestock producers

This webinar was held on 9 August and continued a collaborative cross-industry approach to keep lumpy skin disease (LSD) and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) out of the country. The webinar was hosted by ISC in conjunction with Meat and Livestock Australia and Animal Health Australia.

Topics covered at this webinar included:

• practical biosecurity and traceability actions producers can implement on-farm. 
• how producers can contribute to an effective disease response. 
• the first 72 hours following an emergency animal disease outbreak – what happens during a livestock standstill. 

LPA audits - what you need to know

All LPA accredited producers – from large scale operators to hobby farmers – may be audited to check how records are maintained and how food safety, biosecurity and animal welfare management is carried out.

This webinar recording is ideal for anyone handling livestock – farm owners, managers, overseers and farm hands. This session covers what to expect during an audit, how to prepare and how audits can help – not hinder – your farm business.
