Managing the pestivirus threat during post-drought restocking
With the current dramatic turnaround in seasonal fortunes across large parts of northern and Eastern Australia, restocking activity is gaining momentum. As producers begin to restock, they are at significant risk of either bringing BVDV (pestivirus) home, or of buying-in naïve animals into an already-infected herd.
MLA’s conservative estimate of the cost of BVDV to Australia’s Northern and Southern Beef industries is more than $100 million each year. With the pressures of poor rainfall and poor prices no longer distracting producers, many are now taking the time to address endemic disease, biosecurity and welfare issues within their own production systems.
In this webinar, Dr Enoch Bergman (well respected Western Australia veterinarian) will step producers, vets and other stakeholders through a logical process of defining and managing their BVDV status, and moderating risk in incoming restocker or agistment animals in a cost-effective manner.

Bovine Johne’s Disease and the new Biosecurity Act. What it means for you…
From 1 July 2016, there’ll be major changes to the way Johne’s Disease is managed in Queensland. These changes will bring obligations, challenges and opportunities for beef producers. So we’ve invited Dr Lawrence Gavey, who is a veterinarian with over two decades experience working in the area of established diseases and animal welfare, to provide you with a basic knowledge of Bovine Johne’s Disease (BJD) and an understanding of the new Biosecurity Act to assist you to sustainably manage BJD risks in your herd and on your properties.
During this webinar, you’ll hear about:
- Review of current status of Queensland for BJD – outcomes of major incident responses, an overview of current cases and risks of further spread
- New context from 1 July 2016, under the new national BJD framework and Biosecurity Act 2014 – a shift from regulatory protection to industry management
- Producer responsibility for herd and property protection – the disease, how to assess risk, new tools and management options.

Pimelea and its management
Toxic pimelea species (desert riceflowers and flaxweed) are native plants found throughout inland Australia on pastoral lands. Three ephemeral species (Pimelea simplex, P. elongata, and P. trichostachya) are poisonous to livestock, resulting in heavy losses in some years. In this webinar Jenny Milson discusses pimelea poisoning in cattle and its management. 47:57 minutes published 19 February 2012 by FutureBeefAu.
Download a copy of ‘Understanding pimelea poisoning in cattle’ – a 42-page booklet which describes the clinical signs of pimelea poisoning, treatments and management strategies, and includes recent experimental feeding and herbicide trials, plus case studies detailing the personal experiences of producers.
