Important advice for livestock producers – Russian market eligibility
Effective 1-Jan-2012
To meet Russian market access requirements SAFEMEAT is implementing a 90 day Provisional Russian Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) for products and feed containing oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline – effective 1 January 2012.
Producers must now declare the status of their livestock against this ESI by correctly completing the LPA NVD. Producers who do not use products or feed containing oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline or comply with the 90 day ESI must write the words ‘Russian Eligible’ on the LPA NVD under Question 9 for cattle, Question 8 for EU cattle, and Question 7 for sheep.
Where ‘Russian Eligible’ is written on the LPA NVD it means that the livestock have not been injected with or ingested feed products containing oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline in the last 90 days.
Detection of oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline residues in meat or offal in Russia will result in the meat processor, and potentially Australia, being banned from that market. Russia is Australia’s fourth most important market.
Some animal health treatments containing oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline are being assessed for lower slaughter intervals. Product updates will be published on the SAFEMEAT website when they are available.
