About the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme
| National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme (NFAS) |
|
The National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme was the first agriculturally based quality assurance scheme implemented in Australia and was proactively developed to ensure that every accredited feedlot met legislative requirements and exceeded community expectations. It is managed by state Governments and industry representatives and is recognised under various state legislation. Under the scheme, feedlots are independently audited each year to ensure compliance with animal welfare, environment, biosecurity, food safety and product integrity legislation. NFAS requirements are continually updated as developments in legislation, codes of practice, guidelines, technology, best management practice and science occur.
