Summary

Livestock Data Link (LDL) is an online feedback system which is managed by Integrity Systems Company (ISC) that enables the timely sharing of carcase and animal disease information between processors and their producers with the aim of supporting the optimisation of supply chain performance. LDL currently links carcase data from the National Livestock Identification System (NLIS), Meat Standards Australia (MSA) and the central Animal Health databases with analytical tools, benchmarking reports, and the Solutions to Feedback library.  The current LDL product is built on outdated technology and has enabled the opportunity for a renewed and refreshed roadmap for the next phase of development.
Recently the LDL platform has undergone a review and a roadmap has now been developed. The feedback system will now shift from being a single product to a program of services to meet the needs of various users. These services include, but are not limited to, a new user interface, API development, supporting third-party feedback delivery, open-source portal, and development of standards and aim to deliver on the Feedback vision.
ISC's feedback services enable the linking of feedback within the data platform through the supply chain to support the delivery of end-to-end lifetime performance to producers, supply chains and industry.
