The first state-based, industry-led biosecurity plan for livestock has been launched today by Livestock SA, identifying ways to focus biosecurity activities, resources and investment.
The South Australian Livestock Biosecurity Blueprint 2030, launched at the Livestock SA AGM as part of the Growing SA 2022 Conference in Hahndorf, outlines the vision for SA’s livestock industry to have the systems, capability and capacity to minimise the risks of, and maximise preparedness for, endemic and exotic pest, weed and disease incursions.
The blueprint is built on five priority areas: enhancing biosecurity culture; unified approach; building capacity across the supply chain; preparedness and prevention; and strong and effective traceability.
