What you need to know to protect your livelihood
Did you know that an outbreak of foot and mouth in Australia could cost the Australian economy between $5 billion and $52 billion depending on how quickly it was detected and contained and that producers may bear most of these costs? Early detection of disease is critical to its control, so what can you do? The Livestock Biosecurity Network (LBN) advocates making sure you have adopted good on-farm biosecurity practices as a buffer to the spread of infectious diseases or harmful pests.
To hear more about how you can manage the risks to your property, please join this informative webinar lead by Emma Rooke of the LBN. Having an effective on-farm biosecurity plan will provide immediate and ongoing returns including reducing your chances of introducing important economic diseases to your livestock including Johne’s disease, footrot, lice, multiresistant worms, CAE and pestivirus.
