Attention to meat safety processes continues along the supply chain through transportation of livestock and their handling at saleyards. Despite livestock spending only a small amount of time in these places, Australia’s commitment to safe product ensures the entire supply chain undertakes strict quality control measures. As livestock leave the farm or the feedlot, their movement is governed by programs and systems to ensure their integrity is protected and Australian red meat and livestock products will be safe and hygienic.
