Make sure PIC is up-to-date
Agriculture Victoria Livestock Traceability Manager Ben Fahy said a PIC is required for every property where livestock are kept.
MORE than 57,000 updates were made to Victoria’s Property Identification Code (PIC) register last year, highlighting the importance of keeping details current.
Agriculture Victoria Livestock Traceability Manager Ben Fahy said a PIC is required for every property where livestock are kept.
“It’s also a legal requirement to keep the PIC up to date,” he said. “PICs help us contact livestock owners quickly during emergencies such as bushfires, floods and disease outbreaks.” Mr Fahy said the new financial year was a good time for landholders to check if their PIC details were up to date. Other instances where details should be changed are when:
your contact details change, such as phone, email, or postal address.
you change the type of livestock kept or changing numbers of livestock.
you have management changes such as hiring a new farm manager or changing business ownership.
