Project Spotlight - Northern Territory Cattle Tick Control Program Review
Prime Consulting was engaged by the Northern Territory Government to review the Territory's cattle tick control program and identify opportunities for improvement.
The project involved extensive stakeholder consultation, field visits across remote regions, and a comprehensive assessment of the program's effectiveness, efficiency, and future suitability.
The review resulted in a series of recommendations that have since been adopted by the Government and are now being implemented. These changes will modernise and streamline cattle tick management, helping ensure the program remains effective, efficient, and fit for purpose for years to come.
Industry Spotlight - Australian Pork
Australian Pork Industry Case Study
Prime Consulting has played a long standing role in the development of Australia’s pork industry, supporting quality assurance, animal welfare and biosecurity outcomes alongside rigorous economic analysis.
We have conducted three major reviews of the Australian Pork Industry Quality Assurance Program (APIQ✓®), supporting continuous improvement in management practices, animal welfare, food safety, biosecurity and traceability.
Other work includes:
Reviewing the biosecurity code for the Australian pork industry on behalf of Australian Pork Limited
Developing a National Animal Welfare Strategy and 10 Year Vision for Australian Pork Limited
Completing economic analysis of options for meat and bone meal use in the Australian pig industry
Providing governance and operational leadership for TOP Pork Pty Ltd, a major supplier to the Coles supermarket chain
Biogas Code of Practice
Prime Consulting developed an industry Code of Practice for on-farm biogas generation and use in Australia in 2012. The need for this Code of Practice resulted from a report completed by Prime for the Australian pork industry. The pork industry had been encountering issues on biogas standards and a lack of on-farm biogas regulations. The industry Code of Practice developed by Prime complemented other related research activities, such as the exploration and development of improved management strategies and technologies to enhance waste management systems being used in the pork industry.
