The livestock industry understands the importance of managing livestock effluent on public roadways to ensure road safety, animal welfare, biosecurity, amenity, environmental and business interests. The industry continually works to improve these outcomes and supports any initiatives that facilitates positive change along industry supply chains. It is unrealistic to expect there be absolutely no effluent escape from livestock trucks. NFF therefore supports option 3 to allow for a minor, incidental or unavoidable loss of part of a load.
