Meat Inspection & Quality Assurance conference!

This year’s annual Meat Industry and Quality Assurance Conference will be held on the 18 and 19 of October on the Gold Coast.

In addition to our key speakers who will address the ongoing challenges of market access, the conference program will focus on the wide range of technological developments that will impact on quality assurance in the meat industry including DEXA.

Researchers will present on the projects that are coming to fruition including work on food safety and the impact of freezing on eating quality.

Speakers will also give presentations on the industry’s increased focus on getting health and quality feedback to producers. The nature of this feedback is evolving as are the ways it is being made available to producers. Meat & Livestock Australia will present on the roll out of the Livestock Data Link which is indicative of the changes that are happening in this space.

On the meat inspection front there will be a presentation on the review of meat inspection processes and the likely impact this will have on slaughter floor inspection procedures.

In addition, there will be a workshop to identify the problems associated with delivering the current meat safety qualification, how to address these problems and the future pathways for the recruitment and training of meat inspectors.
