Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) has commissioned the development of this NGER Guidebook to assist the meat processing industry with NGER reporting.

Some MLA members that were required to report in the first 2008/2009 reporting year, have assisted in the preparation of this guidebook by volunteering their experiences of NGER reporting. In preparing for this Guidebook, site visits were conducted and those involved in the data collection and reporting process were interviewed.
