Keeping us up to dateMAKE SURE YOU’RE UP TO SPEED WITH ANIMAL WELFARE
Some of the sheep and beef farmers we’ve spoken to over the last few months, weren’t aware of the new animal welfare regulations that came into force 1 October 2018. It’s been a busy time on-farm with calving, lambing, and making supplements, and we don’t want drystock farmers to get caught out.
Check out our website www.mpi.govt.nz/animalregs for more info. We’ve made a couple of handy leaflets with a summary of the regulations you need to know about.
The majority of regulations are lifted from the codes of welfare, so if you were already compliant with the codes, you won’t notice a big difference. The regulations make it easier to address low-level offending from people who aren't already following good practice, and some of them have a $500 infringement fine attached.
