WoolProducers Australia (WPA) and Sheep Producers Australia (SPA) are seeking feedback from the sheep and wool farmers on the future management of OJD, with the 2013-2018 National Ovine Johne’s Disease Management Plan due to finish in 2018.
The current plan was prepared by WPA and SPA after consultation with industry in 2012-13.
WPA Policy Director Amanda Olthof, said the current plan and the tools underpinning it will be reviewed to ensure OJD continues to be effectively managed and its spread is minimised.
The discussion paper and further information is available via www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/ojd-review/. An online producer survey is also available at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/ojdplan.
Feedback needs to be in by close of business on March 12.
