Executive Summary
The ongoing operation of
the National Velvet Accreditation Scheme is, in part, dependent on the
ongoing interactive cooperation between the Australian Deer Industry Association
(DIAA) and the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA). An integral part
of that interactive cooperation is related to the ability and preparedness
of the DIAA to provide detailed reports on various aspects of the scheme
to the Chairperson.
This project has developed
an easily managed and upgradable database program that allows the NVAS
coordinator to easily record, store and report activities of the NVAS.
This new database will allow
for a broad range of future reporting capabilities likely to be required
of the NVAS and provide industry with the ongoing ability to ensure consumers
of deer velvet and the wider community that:
-
Acceptable standards of animal
welfare are maintained
-
Deer Industry QA Programs product
traceability requirements are supported
-
Occupational Health & Safety
requirements for personnel involved in velvet removal are maintained.
-
QA, residue and animal welfare
expectations of international and domestic communities and clients are
maintained
