2014 LIVEX Forum

2014 LIVEX Forum

The 2014 LIVEX Forum follows the success of last year's LIVEXchange Conference in Townsville.  The 2014 LIVEX Forum will be focused on the interests of southern Australian producers and supply chain participants and specifically, dairy and breeder cattle and rangeland goats, pastoral sheep exporters and associated producers.

The LIVEX Forum is a joint venture between The Australian Livestock Export Corporation (LiveCorp) and the Australian Livestock Exporters Council (ALEC) and is set to be this year's major live export industry event. The Forum will sit alongside our usual industry meetings and Gala dinner and will be held in Melbourne at the Rydges on Swanston the between 28 - 30 October.

This Forum is all about sharing information and insight into the livestock export trade, breaking down knowledge barriers, being open about industry challenges and demonstrating industry's commitment and ongoing effort to improve animal welfare in supply chains. 

The Australian livestock export sector aims to be a world leader in the reliable supply of high quality, healthy and disease-free livestock to global markets. We aim to set the benchmark in live animal supply chain management and demonstrate that the export of livestock can be done with care and concern for animal welfare.  In doing so, the industry is underpinning the economic needs of Australian livestock producers and helping improve animal welfare in the markets in which we operate.
