| New Animal Welfare Standards & Guidelines for Sheep |
|
The Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Sheep, initiated by the Federal Government, is a set of new Standards (legislated and enforceable = must) and Guidelines (non-legislative = should) supporting sheep welfare at the farm level in Australia. Sheepmeat Council is ensuring that the sheepmeat industry is tightly engaged throughout the development of the Standards and is consulting directly with state farming members to ensure the best possible outcome for sheep producers.
