Upcoming NLIS Events
The DPI’s meat and wool sub-project manager, Kellyanne Semple said that cattle identified with NLIS ear tags or boluses allowed the performance of individual animals to be monitored on-farm from birth to slaughter. “Since 1 July 2005 it has been a requirement for cattle producers to notify the NLIS database of property to property cattle movements (for example farm to farm or farm to feedlot) with the legal responsibility of the notification resting with the purchaser,” said Ms Semple. “As a result we have developed a free hands-on workshop for beef producers and dairy farmers to learn more about NLIS and the database.” The workshop caters for all computer skill levels and provides farmers with information regarding the Government’s recent funding announcement designed to assist NLIS development in the cattle industry and grants that are available to farmers for NLIS equipment. It is advised that you register for the workshops early, as numbers are limited to 15 participants per workshop due to the limited number of computers. “These workshops are an excellent opportunity for farmers to invest into the many benefits that NLIS can provide for on-farm management,” Ms Semple said.
