Livestock producers have rightly welcomed a promising break to the season, but with it comes increased biosecurity risks.
Footrot, a contagious and notifiable bacterial disease in sheep, requires warm and moist conditions to develop.
Fire-affected producers get back to business
The coronavirus pandemic impacting the world has made the recovery and rebuilding efforts in bushfire-affected areas of SA even more challenging.

Last year was a busy and successful year for Livestock SA and its members despite the tough weather conditions faced by many South Australian producers.

With some parts of the state dealing with their second –in some cases third – year of below average rainfall, it is likely there will be limited fodder available as we move into the new year.
Livestock has many career opportunities
Highlighting the opportunities available in the livestock industry to jobseekers and young people deciding their future career paths remains critically important to ensuring the future of the sector.
Livestock SA calls for tougher trespass laws
Livestock SA has continued its call for further action on the introduction of stronger trespassing laws within the state.
