| Livestock species: | Grass-fed Cattle |
| Relevant regions: | International |
Summary
With no existing Indonesia government capacity to compensate its livestock sector for implementing a culling-based disease eradication program, the Indonesian government will be relying upon biosecurity measures and vaccination programs to initially control and eventually eradicate LSD and FMD. This approach will take years with no guarantee that either disease will ultimately be eradicated.
Objectives
This project will facilitate short term strategies and measures that will help support immediate biosecurity needs in market.
Key findings
Biosecurity risk in Indonesia was assessed and recommendations made to support measures to mitigate risk.
Benefits to industry
Increased biosecurity capacity in Indonesian feedlots enables the live cattle trade to continue without disruption.
