Immune Ready is a guideline for the care of sale cattle.
This protects cattle in the preparation, transport and arrival post sale.
Immune Ready Guidelines allows buyers to assess the vaccination status of cattle before purchase and informs the purchaser of required future treatments and actions. By purchasing Immune Ready cattle, buyers offset many of the inherent disease risks that comes with introducing new cattle on farm.
Immune Ready advises the buyer that a National Cattle Health Declaration will be provided to verify the treatments given. Buyers should consult with their local veterinarian for a herd health plan best suited to their locality and enterprise.
Immune Ready allows sellers to be recognised for producing healthy, productive cattle that have been adequately prepared for sale. The risk of disease in these cattle has been reduced through appropriate vaccination schedules.
Immune Ready, in conjunction with a National Cattle Health Declaration is a powerful tool in minimising preventable cattle disease with continuity across the supply chain.
