Delivering livestock processing transparency back to producers

A processing plant has achieved improved transparency for livestock producers, with feedback reports typically sent by email within 24 hours of their livestock being harvested and graded. The information on the feedback reports is at the carcase level for large stock and at the mob level for small stock. It includes key pricing attributes along with Animal Health and welfare aspects, including vet pathologies on the carcase and offal.

Photo images are typically provided for condemnations and partial condemnations of carcasses.

The project includes a blueprint for further enhancements, including a producer and agent self-service portal to view and download information such as feedback reports, images, and RCTIs.

Other enhancements include the electronic booking of stock with electronic NVDs, which enables the auto-population of fields based on producer profiles and processor reference information.
