Summary

The purpose of this CMA is to cover the delivery costs of animal disease feedback activities. This CMA will cover the costs of:
- disease and defect industry data standards working group
- venues and catering
- travel
- other equipment and materials required for meetings or workshops.

The industry group will at least meet once to discuss the current challenges with the standard and endorse the management framework of the disease and defect data standard.

Objectives

Cover the costs of disease and defect industry data standards working group meetings and workshops including:
- venues
- catering

Key findings

The key benefit of this project is its enablement of the Draft Australian National Standard for the development, collection and reporting of Animal disease and defect (data standard) to be endorsed by the Australian Meat Industry Language and Standards Committee. This animal disease and defect data standard enhances the sharing and utilisation of animal disease and defect data along the supply chain.

MLA action

This CMA will roll over to support the disease and defect industry data standards working group if they require venues, catering, travel and other equipment and materials for meetings or workshops.
