Ellinbank hosts goat roadshow
With a focus on improving the on-farm practices and business management skills of Australian goat meat producers, the Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) National Goat Roadshow is set to return with a series of events in August.
The National Goat Roadshow will profile a range of new MLA resources and tools for goatmeat producers and delve into the practical aspects of managing goats, including carcase selection, animal selection, biosecurity, CAE, Code of Transport and profitability.
Three events are scheduled across Victoria next month including Ellinbank next Tuesday, August 13.
MLA goat industry project manager Julie Petty said the Roadshow was an excellent opportunity for producers to get together and learn more about practical ways to get more from their goat production.
“With topics covering business management, productivity gains through animal health, producer case studies and an industry expert panel session, the events will help goatmeat producers add more to their bottom lines,” Ms Petty said.
The MLA National Goat Roadshow will feature talks from industry experts including Holmes Sackett Director John Francis, Agriculture Victoria Biosecurity and Agricultural Services Goat Health Veterinary Officer Berwyn Squire, an industry panel and local producers.
Registrations for the Goat Roadshow events are essential, and can be made online https://bit.ly/3264FFX or by contacting AgCommunicators on (08) 8332 3277.
