Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to manage the collection, monitoring and reporting of animal health data from a meat processing premises. Data may be collected in the lairage or on the slaughter floor. The data may be recorded manually on paper forms or by using electronic technological aids such as touch screens or voice recognition.The data collected can be provided as feedback to livestock owners and producers, as well as monitored and reported by the meat processor. In some cases, the data will be supplied in part or whole to a third party such as a state government Department of Primary Industries or a national database for further analysis to support extension, research or market access needs.This unit applies to individuals who:have a working knowledge of the major animal pathological diseases and conditions that impact livestock productionmanage the collection of animal health dataorganise uploading animal health data to a database, and monitor itinterpret animal health data in terms of the impact of the relevant pathological diseases on yield.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
