Animal health

Australia is fortunate to be free of all the major epidemic diseases of livestock and is relatively free of other serious animal pests and diseases.

Australia maintains this high standard of animal health through effective partnerships between all levels of government and the livestock industries. Within this framework, MLA is responsible for the management of animal health research programs that deliver cost-effective, practical solutions to several disease problems in sheep, cattle and goats.
