Further information on code of welfare consultation
The National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) is consulting on proposed updates to the code of welfare for sheep and beef cattle. We’ve developed a page on our website setting out what you need to know about the proposed code and the consultation – including B+LNZ’s views and how to make a consultation submission. Access our webpage here. B+LNZ’s consultation submission will be informed by farmer input including via a farmer focus group and webinars to go through the proposals and get feedback – we strongly encourage farmers to take part, so keep an eye on e-diaries for details.
B+LNZ will be at National Fieldays in Hamilton
We’ll be at sites PD48 and PD50 in the Pavilion, showcasing the latest research and tools designed to help lift productivity and profitability on farm. Hear from Ginny Dodunksi from Wormwise about managing parasites, learn how we’re tackling facial eczema through the EFEI programme, and check out nProve – a simple tool to help you find rams and bulls with the right genetics for your farm business. And for a bit of fun – give our VR experience a go.
