GICA is committed to the general health and welfare of Australia’s entire goat herd. Producers have a duty of care to their livestock and if the health and welfare of any individual herd is compromised it can reflect poorly on the entire industry. Any livestock producer must consider the "five freedoms" for animals and take measures to incorporate these into property management plans and procedures.
