After a successful pilot project the Livestock Health Monitoring program will continue to produce a monthly report on livestock diseases and conditions that have been observed by rural service providers across Tasmania. This program is designed to keep livestock producers and rural service providers up to date on what livestock diseases and conditions are currently occurring in Tasmania. This should mean earlier diagnosis, more effective treatment and better prevention of future outbreaks.

The Livestock Health Monitoring program is funded by Animal Health Australia (with support from Sheep Producers Australia and Wool Producers Australia) and by DPIPWE. Private veterinarians coordinate the project. If you would like more information on this project please contact Dr Bruce Jackson on 0407 872 520 or rja69392@bigpond.net.au
