Livestock electronic ID technology and Stock Management Area Demonstration Workshop

Program:

Garry Armstrong (Murray LLS) will speak on the role of EID technology for livestock traceability and biosecurity.

Henry Hickson (Nextgen Agri) will lead a session on:

• Refining what data is relevant to collect, based on farmers’ breeding objectives.
• Maximising utilisation of EID tech from weigh scale indicators and handlers.
• Managing data in Excel.
• Interrogating data in excel to inform management decisions.

Tru-Test, Gallagher, and Te Pari will provide demonstrations on the technologies available and how to configure equipment to maximise utilisation of data. A discussion session will follow for questions to be answered by the providers.

A farmer discussion panel will provide producers the opportunity to ask questions to, and hear from, farmers who are currently using the technology.

Our host farmer will lead a stock management area tour and discussion.

Garry Armstrong and Rebecca Stacey, from Murray LLS, will discuss management area design, construction, regulations, animal management and nutrition.

Morning tea and BBQ lunch provided.
