Building Producer - Processor Relationship to focus on Carcase


The National Sheep Health monitoring project in conjunction with Zoetis and the Livestock Biosecurity Network have instigated a series of producer feedback workshops.

The latest workshop was held at Herds Meat Processing facility during April. Over 30 producers attended the 4 hour workshop which informed both lamb and sheep producers on strategies to improve livestock health, production and profitability by minimising the impact of diseases and conditions on carcase yield. The feedback from the workshop has been extremely positive, with both the producer and processor recognising the importance of communication and extension in regards to carcase health.
