ALFA BIOSECURITY RESOURCE HUB
EMERGENCY ANIMAL DISEASE WATCH HOTLINE: 1800 675 888
The Australian feedlot industry is taking a proactive approach to biosecurity by embracing best biosecurity practices that ensure the health of our livestock, the continuity of our businesses, and a sustainable future for the industry.
At ALFA, we believe that biosecurity is the foundation of a thriving industry. It’s about more than just protecting against disease - it’s about looking after our people, enhancing animal welfare, reducing risks, and ensuring better productivity.
By implementing effective biosecurity practices, we can safeguard our people, our animals, protect our businesses, and secure the future of lot feeding for generations to come.
This is why we’ve created the ALFA Biosecurity Hub. At ALFA, we’re committed to supporting you every step of the way. Through this hub, we’ve developed comprehensive training opportunities and free resources to help you put biosecurity into action.
Here, you’ll find a wealth of tools and information on best biosecurity practices. Whether you’re looking to overhaul your current protocols or simply refine your existing practices, these resources are designed to help you identify and implement the latest and most effective strategies for your feedlot.
The ALFA Biosecurity Hub was proudly developed with the support of Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) using grain fed levies.
