The Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program is the Australian livestock industry’s on-farm food safety program. It meets the stringent requirements of our export markets, providing an assurance of the safety of red meat grown on Australian farms.
When producers become LPA-accredited, they are promising to meet LPA’s requirements and fulfil their responsibility in the safe production of red meat. Managing the preparation for dispatch of livestock is just one of five elements that farmers need to satisfy to become LPA-accredited.
Every LPA-accredited producer must undertake to ensure livestock are fit for transport and minimise the risk of stress and contamination of livestock during assembly and transport.
