New versions of Livestock Production Assurance National Vendor Declarations (LPA NVDs) for all species are now available, identified by version number 0720.
Current versions of NVDs for all species - cattle, EU-cattle, sheep and lambs, goats, and bobby calves - will continue to be accepted until 31 December 2020.
From 1 January 2021, only the updated versions of all NVDs (0720) will be accepted for all species.
The development of updated versions of LPA NVDs for all species followed a review of all NVD versions by SAFEMEAT in 2019, which recommended a number of changes be made.
LPA accredited producers, feedlots and value chain stakeholders can use the electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) platform to automatically access the updated versions.
New NVD books can be ordered through the LPA service centre, using LPA log in details.
As part of the MLA Accelerated Adoption Initiative announced in November 2019, there is no cost for LPA NVD books until 30 June 2021.
