farmers using MyOSPRI have created just over 15,000 electronic farm-to-meatprocessor and 1300 farm-to-farm Animal Status Declarations.
In the past year, farmers using MyOSPRI have created just over 15,000 electronic farm-to-meatprocessor and 1300 farm-to-farm Animal Status Declarations (ASDs).
MyOSPRI is a new farmer customer portal, and the first functionality added to it was the ability to send electronic ASDs.
OSPRI says the next major milestone in MyOSPRI is to replace the NAIT system with a more userfriendly and fit for purpose traceability system. The aim is to make interacting with OSPRI’s traceability and the TBfree programme easier.
The organisation adds that, as part of the build, it is working to update MyOSPRI more often, with incremental changes so farmers can benefit from the new traceability features as they’re ready.
OSPRI says the purpose of improving the NAIT system is to decrease the barriers that farmers currently experience when trying to complete their NAIT obligations.
“This should improve compliance and therefore more accurately reflect what is on farms throughout New Zealand.”
Farmers can register for MyOSPRI now and use it to send electronic ASDs.
