Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to workers in animal production enterprises that operate under limited supervision within enterprise guidelines. It requires the ability to make decisions based on a developing situation, including the need to ask for specialist assistance.
This unit covers the process of assisting animals and their newborn at birthing and defines the standard required to: implement predator control strategies; recognise signs of imminent birthing of animals; apply contingency measures for birthing in the event of adverse weather conditions; monitor birthing and provide assistance if required, or refer on if birthing difficulties require veterinary assistance; recognise abnormalities in newborn animals and provide a non threatening environment and access to adequate feed and water immediately post birthing.
