“Every livestock owner or person living on a small or lifestyle farm can make changes today to improve biosecurity and help protect their property from pests and diseases.
“Created in collaboration with RSPCA Victoria, the new AgVic Talk series features experts from RSPCA Victoria and Agriculture Victoria as well as farmers who share their knowledge on how people can build biosecurity into their day-to-day farming practices.”
In episode one, Erica Smith of Glenstrae Highlands talks about how she went about introducing some basic biosecurity practices when setting up her property in Gippsland.
In episode two, Brett Davidson from Agriculture Victoria and Rachael Laukart from RSPCA Victoria cover how both agencies are helping producers manage risk and improve their biosecurity practices.
“Listeners will receive advice on what to include in a biosecurity plan, the importance of Property Identification Codes, PICs, and where to go for tips and advice about biosecurity practices, and steps you can take on farm,” Ms Harris said.
