SECURE YOUR FARM

Tip of the month - December 2008

Keeping it clean - Did you know that many pests, weeds and diseases can be carried on vehicles and equipment?

Where the same vehicle or or piece of equipment has been used for multiple tasks on a property, it is important to ensure that it is clean prior to the next use to prevent cross contamination and the spread of diseases and pests.

To learn more about the simple every day biosecurity practices that could secure your property and secure your future, subscribe to Farm Biosecurity News email feedback@animalhealthaustralia.com.au

SECURE YOUR FUTURE

Diseases and pests can spread to many properties across wide areas of Australia in a matter of days - even before any signs are apparent. For this reason, it's important to have good farm biosecurity practices in place in advance of an outbreak of diseases or pests.
