Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:

interpret and apply feeding instructions

measure and calculate volumes and consumption requirements

relate livestock performance data to ration consistency

mix feeds and ingredients in line with industry quality standards and requirements

recognise and rectify minor operational faults and perform routine maintenance

complete records and documentation of feed use and volumes for the shed

take and prepare feed samples for dispatch to the laboratory.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

identify hazards and implement safe operating procedures

identify a range of grain types and qualities

identify grain contaminants

identify premixes and weigh out

mix feeds and ingredients

identify basic mixing problems

relate livestock performance data to ration consistency

recognise and rectify minor operational faults

read and interpret manufacturers specifications, work and maintenance plans, and material safety data sheets (MSDS)

interpret and apply task instructions, communicate with work team and supervisor, and record and report faults, workplace hazards and accidents

measure and calculate volumes and consumption requirements

complete records and documentation of feed use and volumes for the shed

take and prepare feed samples for dispatch to the laboratory

perform routine maintenance of milling and mixing equipment

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation, including questioning techniques, active listening, clarifying information and consulting with supervisors as required

use interpersonal skills to work with and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

silo operations and configuration, machinery and operating practices

cleaning and storage of machinery, equipment and materials

enterprise recording and reporting procedures

raw ingredients (grains and meals)

vitamins, minerals and premix formulations

the implications of grain incorporating chemical, insect and fungal contamination. This includes an awareness of the industry process in place to monitor these contaminants - the National Residue Survey (NRS), the National Antibiotic Residue Minimisation (NARM) and programmed basket surveys

contaminants of raw feed and meals that could reduce performance - seeds, moulds, nutritional and disease factors which can influence product quality

evidence of spoilage and handling spoilt feeds

OHS and environmental legislative and enterprise requirements.

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Mixing and milling may include:

the safe operation and maintenance of machinery and equipment, including hydraulics and guarding of exposed moving parts, including pumps, impellers and aeration equipment

precautions should also be in place to minimise exposure to noise and organics and other dusts.
