Do you employ farm staff or are you a farm manager? Here’s what you need to do to ensure integrity requirements are met on your property.

Early warning (EW) is a status within the NLIS database that is automatically assigned to a property carrying high-risk animals. It is one of several ‘property identification code (PIC)-based statuses’ assigned within the database. The EW status does not identify what the status is for or which specific animals are high-risk. The EW status helps monitor and manage food safety and biosecurity risk along the entire supply chain. It gives livestock buyers and agents forewarning of a potential risk by flagging that the PIC may have high risk animals associated with it. The buyer or agent is then able to...

If your property has an EW status and you are sending animals to a saleyard, you must notify the selling agent who will be acting on your behalf. This will ensure full transparency through the selling process and allow any potential food safety or biosecurity risk to be managed. Even if you are not selling the animal of concern, if you have an EW status on your PIC, you should provide full transparency and confirm with the saleyards, your agent or buyer that there are no high risk animals in the consignment. Following that, it will be business as usual.
