The NFF does not support the APVMA proposal to declare second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) as Restricted Chemical Products (RCPs) unless continuing access to SGARs for primary producers is guaranteed.
SGARs (products containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, difethialone and flocoumafen) play a valuable role in effective rodent control across a wide range of agricultural industries and production systems, ensuring food hygiene standards are maintained while reducing disease risks to animals and humans.
The NFF believes it is vital that access to SGARs for legitimate agricultural users, without onerous barriers to access or blanket restrictions, must be safeguarded.
