During 2010 Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) received feedback from processing industry members that there is a degree of variation between Pre Sale Catalogues (PSC) and Buyer Reconciliation Reports (BR) when compared, via audit, with the information contained in original National Vendor Declarations (NVD). The Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) in working with AMIC, commissioned a review (BlueSky Agribusiness) of the current practices associated with livestock traceability from the saleyard to the processor.
