Animal Welfare. The proper care and welfare of all animals on Farms is extremely important to ACM and it takes any incident relating to animal welfare very seriously. ACM expects Suppliers to comply with industry standards in relation to animal welfare. These were originally released in September 2014 following an extended period of consultation with relevant stakeholders (“Animal Welfare Standards”) and maybe updated from time to time. Animal Welfare Standards are available from Dairy Australia and can be downloaded from its website (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx). They are also available from ACM upon request. Animal Welfare Standards comprehensive cover various aspects of animal welfare including: • feed and water • risk management of extreme weather, natural disasters, disease, injury and predation • facilities and equipment • handling and management • castration, dehorning and spaying • tail docking • breeding management • calf-rearing systems • dairy management • beef feedlots • euthanasia Also included in Animal Welfare Standards which Suppliers are expected to comply with are the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines – Land Transport of Livestock (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx ) which have been implemented into state legislation with the aim of protecting the welfare of animals being transported and providing consistent regulation around Australia. Any failure by Supplier to comply with Animal Welfare Standards constitutes a breach of this Milk Supply Agreement. Any reported instance of non-compliance with Animal Welfare Standards will be fully investigated by ACM. Depending on the outcome of that investigation, ACM may provide support to Supplier ensure compliance, report the incident to the regulator and/or terminate the Supplier’s Milk Supply Agreement. If Supplier requires guidance or assistance about applicable Animal Welfare Standards, they can contact ACM for assistance. Additionally, Dairy Australia provides several resources for farmers seeking further information about this issue at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx
