Benefits of joining the cattle surveillance network
Every month, members will receive:
- a surveillance report for the region, which will include:
- which disease syndromes have been occurring most commonly,
- as well as information on what is may be causing them and
- what you can do about them.
The network also has the ability to send members an early warning SMS for disease outbreaks or livestock emergencies.
Members will also benefit from:
- a strengthened animal health surveillance system that protects our cattle industry
- regular contact with local DPIRD vets
- increased knowledge of the subsidies available for livestock disease investigations.
If the network is able to show that there is a topic commonly reported across all members, this will highlight areas that may be advantageous for future research and ensure that it is relevant to producers.
