National Procedures and Guidelines for Intensive Sheep and Lamb Feeding Systems

What's Happening?

The National Procedures and Guidelines for Intensive Sheep and Lamb Feeding Systems , Edition 1, was completed in October 2010 and is available to download (click here).

A self-audit tool is currently under development to accompany the procedures and guidelines and will be trialled in an outdoor feedlot, a shed and a containment area before its release.

The aim of the audit tool will be to provide an easy to use system, in check-box format, that will allow systems to be assessed against best practice.

Registered stakeholders will receive notification of future updates to the document including the release of the self-audit tool. (If you haven’t already registered, please click here.)
