JBS Pork Australia employs a strict farm biosecurity and quarantine policy. This is aimed at ensuring livestock are not exposed to health risks from outside the JBS Pork Australia Group. Biosecurity procedures are in place to minimise potential contamination by controlling the movement of people, animals and vehicles.

JBS Pork Australia has a network of committed contract farmers that provide additional facilities and management of livestock. Contract growing for JBS Pork Australia enables local farmers to diversify, build equity and lock in long term income. JBS Pork Australia employees work with contract growers to optimise facility design and operation to ensure the high standards for welfare and sustainability are maintained for all animals.
