Agriculture Victoria is teaming up with RSPCA Victoria to present a webinar about cattle health and biosecurity management.
Keeping Your Cattle Healthy, to be held on Wednesday 10 May from 6pm to 7pm, will provide smaller-scale farmers with important information and practical tips to help ensure their cattle are healthy, productive, and profitable.
The one hour session will cover a range of topics, including how to manage on-farm biosecurity, assessing and monitoring cattle health and feed requirements.
Brett Davidson from Agriculture Victoria and Rachael Laukart from RSPCA will be presenting at the webinar.
Both presenters have extensive experience in animal management and are passionate about helping Victorian farmers to care for their animals.
“Livestock health and productivity go hand-in-hand, and both are crucial for the success of any farming operation,” Mr Davidson said.
“By implementing good biosecurity measures, all landholders can better protect their cattle and farms from diseases and pests.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with RSPCA Victoria to deliver this webinar and provide practical advice to small scale farmers on how to improve the health and wellbeing of their cattle.”
Ms Laukart said RSPCA Victoria is excited to be working with Agriculture Victoria and sharing their expertise with the community.
“Management of livestock’s ongoing health and welfare requirements are vital to producing high quality agriculture produce.
“It may sound obvious, but productive farms need productive animals, which is why a healthy herd and having the skills to assess and manage your livestock’s health are essential.”
