Biosecurity risks during and after a natural disaster, can include the spread of pests and diseases. LPA accredited producers should review and update their biosecurity plans to include risks associated with flooding & fire. Records should be kept on all feed introduced to the property as well as which livestock received it. If livestock have spread to neighbouring properties, producers should consider any risks around pests, disease and biosecurity for their own property before they are brought home. A number of recommended practices are included on the LPA farm biosecurity plan template that should be considered. Read more about biosecurity...

To meet the requirements of LPA, each Property Identification Code (PIC) must have a formal, documented Farm Biosecurity Management Plan that addresses each of the following: Manage and record the introduction and movement of livestock in a way that minimises the risk of introducing and/or spreading infectious diseases. Where reasonable and practical, control people, equipment and vehicles entering the property to minimise the potential for property contamination and, if possible, keep a record of such movements. Prevent and control animal diseases on-farm by regularly monitoring and managing livestock. Create your own on-farm biosecurity management plan

Floods and fires can spread pests and diseases. Review and update your plan to include these risks. If your property is affected, ensure you keep records of any feed introduced and which livestock received it. If your livestock have strayed to neighbouring properties, consider the pest, disease and biosecurity risks before bringing them home. The farm biosecurity plan template lists recommended practices to consider.
