Summary
This project has developed a Live Export Veterinary Handbook in electronic format, suitable for dissemination as either a printed Handbook or as an electronic file. The Handbook is intended to serve as a concise reference source of practical information focused on conditions likely to be experienced across the live export supply chain, with a particular focus on the steps from arrival at an assembly feedlot in Australia to discharge at a destination port in an overseas country. The Handbook is intended to be used by veterinarians and stockpersons and any other individual with responsibility for animal health and welfare during the export supply chain. It is recommended that a process be developed to allow periodic review and updating of the Handbook to ensure that it remains current and useful for export industry stakeholders.
