Share your thoughts on proposed changes to animal welfare requirements in Australia.
The Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (ASEL) outlines the minimum animal health and welfare conditions that exporters must meet when exporting livestock.
In the ASEL 4.0 review, we aim to improve the practicality and clarity of ASEL requirements. We also aim to provide flexibility around ASEL requirements where appropriate, while maintaining or improving animal health and welfare.
Public consultation on the ASEL 4.0 review will be held in 3 tranches due to the breadth of matters being reviewed. Matters under consideration in tranche 1 cover:
Review of ASEL penning requirements in registered establishments [PDF 646 KB] [WORD 3.0 MB]
Review of ASEL pregnancy related requirements [PDF 879 KB] [Word 4.0 MB]
We invite you to share your feedback on proposed changes to the ASEL. Your feedback can help us improve the standards and ensure they remain fit for purpose.
