@GrovesCole @HandsMegan @sarahocnz @egel34 @ballomes @sudeshkissun @WinningV1 @987billco @MPI_NZ @DamienOConnorMP Hi Cole, with increasing numbers of farmers seeking support from our Contact Centre call volumes have quadrupled over the past months. Can you please provide your contact details and one of the NAIT team will be in touch ASAP.

@ballomes @sudeshkissun @WinningV1 @987billco @MPI_NZ @DamienOConnorMP NAIT locations can have multiple production types registered.
But based on locations registered with 'dairy' as the primary production type- 15,000.
Otherwise, Approximately 26,000 NAIT locations listed with beef as the primary production have re-registered.

[OSPRI @OSPRI_NZ]

@sudeshkissun @WinningV1 @987billco @MPI_NZ @DamienOConnorMP Here is the breakdown:
Production type split of NAIT locations registered with
NAIT is approx. 70% beef and 20% dairy (the rest deer)

So far approx. 7200 Dairy NAIT locations have re-registered
with NAIT and approx. 7700 Dairy NAIT locations have not yet re registered.

@sudeshkissun @WinningV1 @987billco @MPI_NZ @DamienOConnorMP Hi Sudesh,
It is important to distinguish whether you are talking
specifically about NAIT registration or the volume of re-registration as all of these locations are already registered with NAIT.

New Zealand's TBfree programme uses ferrets to indicate the presence or absence of TB infection in the wild. This video explains how they help https://t.co/I5yP5ftmek

Wild pigs and ferrets play an important role our goal to eradicate TB. Check out this short video that explains how it all works https://t.co/iGkf9cdG8o

We're busy confirming our pest control plans for the year ahead. Check out our interactive map on TB eradication plans in your region https://t.co/36Tk0k2khU #TBfreeNZ

With stock moving off the farm to the meatworks at this time of year, it pays to take note of the TB slaughter levy. To pay the right rate at slaughter, make sure you’ve assigned the correct production type – ‘beef’ or ‘dairy’ to your cattle – in NAIT. https://t.co/g1AMukOP3I

As calves reach a healthier weight and are sized up for sale, make sure they’re tagged and registered before they leave the farm. You don’t need to record a movement to a sale yard. Read more about NAIT requirements at https://t.co/yRicLE4rfH

[OSPRI @OSPRI_NZ]

With pastures drying out you may be looking at feed levels and considering your grazing options. Remember to record any animal movements in NAIT within 48 hours https://t.co/dgDpJl1c9h

Tag calves within 6 months or before moving them off the farm and register them in NAIT within 7 days of tagging or before moving them off the farm – whichever comes first. Go to https://t.co/F4oIB2BOpv
