Biosecurity to strengthen and protect the Australian livestock industry.
Australian farmers are faced with a myriad of risk factors to their livestock on a day-to-day basis, impacting the productivity, health and success of their farms. Biosecurity is a set of measures designed to protect the premises from the spread of pests and disease. Farm biosecurity is very much the responsibility of the farmer, and that of every person visiting or working on the property, and can often be overlooked until contamination of livestock is evident.
Farm Biosecurity is implemented by all good producers and may include initiatives such as appropriate boundary fencing or testing for disease before purchasing and introducing to the herd.
