Common use of Oestradiol Restrictions Clause in Contracts

Oestradiol Restrictions. In 2008, the Australian dairy industry introduced a voluntary restriction on the use of oestradiol benzoate in lactating dairy cows. This occurred as a result of changes in export market regulations in which some countries banned the importation of dairy products that have been treated with oestrogen, including oestradiol. ACM requires that Suppliers adhere to this restriction. Oestradiol is permitted to be used for oestrus synchrony programs in non-lactating heifers, however it cannot be used in lactating cattle. Suppliers should discuss alternative options for the treatment of non-cycling cows with their veterinarian. ACM encourages Suppliers to have a written emergency plan in place, that they can refer to in the event that the Farm is materially affected by fire, storm or flood. It also makes good business sense to periodically check the Farm for hazards, risks and areas of vulnerability especially if it can be linked to a review of your emergency planning. Recognising hazards and taking steps to reduce or eliminate them will help to create a safer environment for Suppliers their employees and any Farm visitors. For more information, look to the Dairy Farm Emergency Preparedness Checklist‐ Dairy Australia (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx). In the event of a “crisis” (fire, storm or flood) within the ACM collection region, Milk pick up will continue where practicable and safe to do so. Milk quality related issues such as temperature and BMCC are paramount and Milk will only be collected from Suppliers if and when ACM can verify the quality of Milk as set out in this document.
