GENERAL BIOSECUITY OBLIGATION (GBO)
All Queenslanders have a ‘general biosecurity obligation’ (GBO) under Queensland's Biosecurity Act 2014 (PDF, 1.5MB).
Not complying with the GBO is an offence.
This means that everyone is responsible for managing biosecurity risks that are: under their control and that they know about, or should reasonably be expected to know about.
Under the GBO, individuals and organisations whose activities pose a biosecurity risk must: take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent or minimise each biosecurity risk minimise the likelihood of causing a ‘biosecurity event’, and limit the consequences if such an event is caused.
CALVING OF ANIMALS
No cow expected to calve or with a calf born after 1st August 2018 will be permitted entry onto the grounds and will be withdrawn from the competition. Any cow or heifer that calves after arrival at the showgrounds will be withdrawn from competition and will be removed from public exhibition and placed in an isolated stall nominated by the RNA unless permission to the contrary is given by the Council Stewards or, in their absence, by a Veterinary Surgeon. Entry fees will not be refunded.
Cows should not be entered if their calving date is to/or likely to coincide with the Royal Queensland Beef and Dairy Show. The RNA Veterinarian is required to attend any calving activity on Showgrounds, with the cost for their services and subsequent waste and cleaning fees incurred by the Exhibitor
It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor’s onsite to be aware of and adhere to the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines, notably but not restricted to the Land Transportation of Livestock and Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals. Under normal circumstances, cattle which are more than eight months pregnant should not be transported. Cattle that have recently given birth should not be transported until at least 72 hours after calving.

It is your General Biosecurity Obligation as the exhibitor NOT to knowingly spread the disease. Any Cattle from suspected herds that have not yet been cleared by Biosecurity Queensland will not be accepted on to the showgrounds.
Rules: . Each exhibitor has an obligation to take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent the introduction into, and spread of Johne’s disease within, Queensland. . Exhibitors must not enter animal(s) which are reasonably known or suspected of being infected with Johne’s disease, including animals which have been introduced with a significant likelihood of being infected. . The RNA cross references dairy cattle entries with Biosecurity Qld to confirm animals are not registered on the restricted animal list (from an infected herd). . Exhibitors must supply a health statement/declaration that provides information about the health of the animal including Johne’s risk. The health statement/declaration must not be false, incomplete or misleading.
UDDER SCANNING
Compulsory udder scanning will take place on Friday 17 August 2018. Milk entries will be subjected to an ultra sound udder scan for the purpose of detecting unethical manipulation of the udder or improper filling practices, such as overfilling and over bagging of cow udders. Mandatory ultra sound scanning of first and second place getters in all in-milk classes. Animals that place first and second in their class can be tested after their Champion class, with the exception of Champion and Reserve and any other animals required for the Interbreed competition will be tested after the Supreme class. Any exhibits may also be randomly scanned and selected exhibits are tested immediately after judging. If a cow is found to be over bagged or subject to illegal substances or practices, the exhibitor will be disqualified. Any animal required for interbreed competitions are to be scanned upon completion of their respective classes
CATTLE TICK CONTROL
The Brisbane Showgrounds will continue to operate as a CATTLE TICK FREE ZONE and all associated cattle movements must be tick free.
Exhibitors have a general biosecurity obligation to take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent or minimise the spread of cattle tick.
A biosecurity certificate, issued by an accredited certifier, will be required to accompany dairy cattle movement across the cattle tick line, moving from a property in the cattle tick infested zone onto the Showgrounds. The RNA will continue to conduct tick inspections prior to stock entering the Showgrounds. If a live cattle tick is found on a carrier, all carriers in that consignment fail the inspection and will not be allowed entry to the Showgrounds.
To facilitate movement of cattle to and from the grounds all Cattle must be tick free. The RNA will allow exhibitors to have their animals inspected on property prior to entry to the RNA grounds. All exhibitors who adopt to have their cattle inspected at home must use an accredited certifier and provide the accredited certifier details along with the treatment certificate on entry to the grounds. or The RNA will employ an accredited officer for cattle tick inspection on arrival for those who did have their cattle inspected on their properties. All exhibitors must adhere to the regulation of ticks and animals must be treated within 24 hours of travelling to the Brisbane Showgrounds. The RNA will employ an accredited officer for cattle tick inspection on arrival for those who do not treat cattle on their properties. All procedures are to be carried out within guidelines of the Bio-security Act. All National Health Declarations will be forwarded to Bio Security for their clearance/permission to compete at 2018 Royal Queensland Show. The accredited officer will also provide random tick scratching throughout the show. Any animal found with Cattle Ticks will result in the whole consignment from that PIC being sent home.
No animal may enter the dairy pavilion unless they have the necessary tick free status. All relevant paper work must be handed to a representative of the RNA. Time of arrival must be advised for animals entering from infested areas on the Final Numbers form and must state details of treatment or untreated animals. Animals requiring inspection/scratching on grounds must not enter the dairy pavilion until necessary inspection has been carried out in the Wash Bay Area, or suitable area as directed by accredited inspector.
Note: Accredited certifiers are trained persons who have been trained and authorised by the Queensland Government to certify the tick status for livestock movements.
