This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine livestock breeding method, and supervise, monitor and maintain livestock artificial breeding and embryo transfer (ET) programs.

The unit applies to individuals who apply specialist skills and knowledge to supervise livestock artificial breeding and embryo transfer programs. This includes applying and communicating non-routine technical solutions to predictable and unpredictable problems.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, health and safety in the workplace requirements, animal welfare legislative, regulatory and codes of practice requirements, and biosecurity practices.
