Producers were required to have the plan in place by October 1, to meet Meat and Livestock Australia Livestock Production Assurance requirements.
From October 1 biosecurity has been included in the Livestock Production Assurance program.
All cattle, sheep and goat producers will need to ensure they are compliant with this change by having a farm biosecurity plan in place for each PIC (Property Identification Code).
Filling out a Biosecurity plan template is the easiest way to meet the new requirement.
The Livestock Production Assurance template is available at https://www.mla.com.au/globalassets/mla-corporate/meat-safety-and-traceability/documents/livestock-production-assurance/22447-lpa-on-farm-biosecurity-plan-template_web.pdf
It is your document and there is no need to lodge it.
Just keep it on file for your use or audits by Livestock Production Assurance.
