Farmers around the country are set to learn more about the basics of National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) in a new Dairy Women's Network workshop series.
Delivered in conjunction with disease management agency and NAIT tool owner, OSPRI, the free three-hour sessions will cover the registration process and how to keep up to date with recording animal movements.
Attendees will receive one-on-one help with their own NAIT accounts as part of the workshop.
NAIT is a primary on-farm tool for animal disease management to protect New Zealand's biodiversity and food safety systems.
"These workshops are aimed at increasing our farmers' levels of knowledge, and helping them to understand what their responsibilities are when moving animals and recording movements," Jules Benton, Dairy Women's Network chief executive said.
