AgriFutures identified enhancing biosecurity as one of the key priorities of the poultry industry in its 2022-2027 Chicken Meat Program Research Development and Extension Plan.
To support this goal, Skills Insight and MINTRAC are undertaking this project to deliver free workshops for chicken meat and egg producers around the country and online. Workshops focus on the role of on-farm flock safety measures in safeguarding the biosecurity of the broader industry.
Project activities have been impacted by the recent Avian Influenza incursions across Victoria, with industry prioritising a nationwide biosecurity response. Instead of the national roll out of workshops, the first pilot training workshop has been held in Brisbane with less-impacted industry stakeholders. Feedback from this session will be used to refine the program before full-scale national delivery when the broader industry is available.
