Free online training modules for Emergency Animal Disease Awareness

Farmers across Victoria are encouraged to complete a series of free online training modules to help them protect their animals from diseases and biosecurity threats.

Agriculture Victoria’s online training modules aim to give farmers an overview of the risk and impacts of an emergency animal disease (EAD) outbreak.

They raise awareness of Foot-and mouth disease and Lumpy skin disease, what a livestock standstill means for the industry and how people can visit farming properties safely.

The four modules include:

• Foot-and-mouth disease awareness

• Lumpy skin disease awareness

• Come Clean, Stay Clean, Go Clean – when visiting farms

• Livestock Standstill for Foot-and-mouth disease.

Each module takes about 15 minutes to complete. To get started, click here.
