Australia will import lumpy skin disease so scientists can develop a vaccine to prevent the infection spreading should it reach the nation's shores.Australia's red meat and dairy sectors are concerned lumpy skin disease could shut down industry
Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said the CSIRO's Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness in Geelong would start testing the virus, which could decimate Australia's red meat and dairy industries. "All it will take is a couple of cyclones and some midges to be blown into Australia, and I can't put a great big dirty fly-screen up across northern Australia — I can't stop it."Mr Littleproud said Australia would look to provide the vaccine to other countries like Indonesia and Timor once it was developed.Mr Schipp had returned from Indonesia, where the disease has been spreading through Sumatra's Riau province.
Comme dit mon très vieux voisin: 'Je ne comprends pas, avant on n'avait pas besoin de vacciner nos brebis comme maintenant' 🧐🧐🧑🌾🧑🌾⬆️⬆️
Should have been done in the 1980s except Hawk and Keating said no. Ahwell the real downfall of Australian Farmer's is happening right now and things will get a lot worse. Not drought not flood's. Excessive fuel, seed and fertiliser. As well as water. Food costs up.
Since no one is reading the article: live samples to a research lab, not infected cattle.
Can you still eat it? Does the grill cook the disease out or is the meat wasted? I'm no doctor, I just really want to eat cows.
how tragic ! for us, and that poor skinny animal - it's not well.
