OSPRI

OSPRI New Zealand has been established to enhance opportunities for New Zealand’s primary sector. It has been created from the merger of TBfree New Zealand (formerly the Animal Health Board) and the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT).
 
OSPRI is currently responsible for delivery of the National Pest Management Plan for bovine tuberculosis and the NAIT scheme. The intention is to build on established expertise developed within TBfree New Zealand and NAIT and the strong relationship with government through the Ministry for Primary Industries.
 
In delivering these strategies and services, OSPRI is aiming to make a significant contribution to the prosperity of New Zealand through helping to protect primary industries representing 12 per cent of GDP.
