Biosecurity
Managing Biosecurity
Biosecurity Management Plans aim to prevent, eliminate, and minimise biosecurity risks.
Animal Biosecurity
Animal biosecurity is all about protecting the economy, human health and the environment from problems associated with pests and diseases of animals and residues in animal products.
Animal Welfare
NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) is responsible for ensuring the policy and legislative frameworks in the state support good animal welfare outcomes.
Pests and Diseases
Each season brings its own individual challenges with regards to pests and disease.
Feed and Fodder
When bringing fodder and feed onto your property, you need to think about its quality and nutritional value and the longer term biosecurity risks you might be exposed to like pests, weeds and diseases.
Weeds and Drought
Drought can devastate existing vegetation, removing competition for light, nutrients, moisture and space which allows quick establishment of weeds when conditions become favourable.
Report a pest or disease
Help protect NSW's community, environment and economy by reporting suspect or unusual pests and diseases and other biosecurity concerns.
