Summary
New approaches to the control of use of hormonal growth promotants (HGPs) in Australia
A report was prepared by an independent consultant which explored the efficiencies and cost/benefits of a strengthened HGP control system as identified by a Working Group of the Red Meat Advisory Council (RMAC). In this process, a proposed system was compared with the system of controls currently being applied in Australia.
The report was submitted to the RMAC working group and remains confidential.
