ALFA Biosecurity EAD Preparedness Workshop | 2025


The Australian feedlot industry is taking a proactive stance against biosecurity threats with the first-ever workshop of its kind. ALFA’s flagship Biosecurity EAD Preparedness Workshop will be delivered in 2025, across multiple locations in Australia.



Join us for this vital workshop series designed to increase preparedness across the feedlot industry against an EAD incursion in Australia.

 

As one of five key initiatives under the ALFA EAD Biosecurity Project, this workshop equips Australian feedlot operators and industry service providers with the knowledge and tools to prevent, prepare for, and respond to an EAD incursion.

 

For Feedlot Enterprises – Learn about tools and resources available to implement and best biosecurity practice to protect your livestock, safeguard your business and ensure industry resilience.

 

For Industry Service Providers – Build a deeper understanding of available resources,  feedlot biosecurity protocols, ensuring veterinarians, nutritionists, and auditors are aligned with industry best practices for disease prevention and response.
