AHA Communications team It’s now even simpler to protect your property and manage biosecurity risks when purchasing or selling goats, with the addition of the national Goat Health Declaration to the electronic National Vendor Declaration (eNVD) system. It’s a move that makes it quicker and easier for producers to share information about the health of their herd, said Bree Beattie, AHA’s Biosecurity Coordinator. “The Goat Health Declaration is an important risk management tool which allows buyers to assess the risk a potential purchase represents to their herd. It provides information on a number of significant diseases as well as drenching and vaccination history, giving the potential buyer a thorough picture of the health of the goat they’re looking to purchase,” said Ms Beattie. “Now that it’s available on the eNVD system, producers can fill out and send Goat Health Declarations with a few clicks, helping to speed up the entire transaction process and making it easier than ever to make an informed purchasing decision.” “The Goat Health Declaration is an important risk management tool which allows buyers to assess the risk a potential purchase represents to their herd.” The Goat Health Declaration joins the NVD on the eNVD system managed by the ISC, allowing producers to fill out the forms at the same time. “Having these documents in the one location offers benefits to producers beyond saving them time – it can also help them improve their stock management and prevent inaccuracies in the information recorded on the forms,” said Ms Beattie.
