Cattle producers have been asked to comment on the Bovine Johne\u2019s Disease Framework Document, the final step in the national BJD Review process.<\/p>\n

The BJD Review, co-ordinated by Animal Health Australia, will shape the future management of BJD in Australia.<\/p>\n

The Framework Document provides a summary of how Australia can more effectively manage BJD\u00a0 in cattle into the future and represents the views and deliberations of the cattle industries and State and Territory governments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed Framework Document was released on Monday, November 2, and is now available for public comment until November 18, 2015,”\u00a0\u00a0AHA\u2019s Executive Manager of Biosecurity Duncan Rowland said.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve already received valuable feedback from government and industry stakeholders as well as the general public through our national forums, think tanks and public consultations and the Framework Document provides a final opportunity for input from interested parties.<\/p>\n

The State Government has encouraged all Queensland producers to consider the framework and how it may affect livestock management and disease outcomes, and to provide feedback on the proposal.<\/p>\n

Information about how to comment is available on the Animal Health Australia website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
