V.ISC.2514 - LPA learning content refresh

Summary

The LPA program is the on-farm assurance program that underpins food safety, biosecurity, animal welfare and traceability credentials for Australian red meat.  It is crucial for maintaining and growing Australia’s $74.5 billion red meat industry. The LPA program consists of seven mandatory modules and additional voluntary modules.    

LPA Learning is an online tool developed to assist livestock producers to better understand all practices required to meet LPA requirements and is available on demand to complete. The LPA learning explains to producers the on-farm practices required and shows how to apply the LPA requirements to procedures and tasks in their business.   

This project reviewed, improved and expanded the learning content for the LPA Program and created learning content that is applicable to other parts of the supply chain or personnel who assist LPA accredited livestock producers meeting their LPA and NLIS requirements. These new learning modules will be available via LPA and MLA elearning toolbox.

Objectives

1. Review and update the LPA Learning content for the seven learning modules that cover mandatory modules of the LPA program.

2. Created five new learning modules for harvested rangeland goat producers and registered goat deports; hormone growth promotants and oestradiol use in cattle; LPA program overview; and agent specific module; and NLIS devices and application tips.
