Management of livestock in registered establishments
3.6.1
- The feed trough allowance for goats held in paddocks at the registered establishment is to be calculated on a paddock-by-paddock basis and must be:
for ration feeding, no less than 5cm of feed trough width per head; or
for
ad libitum
feeding, no less than 3cm of feed trough width per head.
3.6.2
- For areas of Australia south of latitude 26°S from 1 May to 31 October (inclusive), feeding must occur from fully sheltered feed troughs.
3.6.3
- Goats must be fed daily suitable feed of:
at least 3% of their bodyweight for goats younger than 4 tooth; and
at least 2% of their bodyweight for 4 tooth or older; and
a quality able to meet daily maintenance requirements.
3.6.4
- The minimum length of time that goats must remain in a registered establishment prior to departure for the port is 5 clear days. A day on which an animal is subject to a feed or water or curfew is not a clear day. During at least the 3 clear days prior to export, goats are to be fed
