As a sheep producer, I need to understand what Export Slaughter Intervals (ESIs) are, why they are important, and how they are established for sheep. I also need to find the publication date of the latest official ESI list for sheep and the file sizes of its downloadable documents.
Navigate to apvma.gov.au. From the main navigation, click on 'Chemicals and products'. Click on 'Pesticides and veterinary residues'. Click on 'Export slaughter intervals – sheep'. Identify the definition and purpose of Export Slaughter Intervals (ESIs) for sheep. Identify how ESIs for sheep are agreed upon. Locate the publication date of the ESI list for sheep. Identify the file sizes of the two downloadable ESI list documents for sheep.
State that an ESI is the minimum time between administration of a veterinary chemical to animals and their slaughter for export. State that ESIs manage differences between Australian MRLs and those of trading partners. State that ESIs for sheep are agreed to by the sheep industry and the chemical registrant. State the publication date of the ESI list for sheep as '26/11/2024'. State the file sizes of the two downloadable documents as '411.46 KB' and '100.08 KB'.
