Biosecurity Queensland says it has made substantial progress in responding to the current Bovine Johne\u2019s Disease (BJD) incident in Queensland.<\/p>\n

Chief veterinary officer Dr Rick Symons said that over the past week Biosecurity Queensland had contacted about 150 properties which have received cattle from a beef stud property near Rockhampton where some livestock have been confirmed with BJD.<\/p>\n

\u201cMovement restrictions have been placed on almost all of those properties,\u201d Dr Symons said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will take time to thoroughly assess the disease risk for each individual property, which is why finalising the risk assessments for all affected properties is expected take a number of months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to highlight that so far, the beef stud property near Rockhampton is still the only property confirmed as having the infection.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is expected that most properties under assessment will not be infected with BJD, however we must undertake this process to retain Queensland\u2019s protected status.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there are any producers who think they could be affected, but have not been contacted by Biosecurity Queensland, I urge them to call 13-25-23 to discuss their situation with an inspector.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Potentially affected producers should not move or slaughter stock until they have discussed their options with Biosecurity Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Biosecurity Queensland will ensure that an appropriate risk assessment is done and, if necessary, samples can be collected so as to minimise the time a property is under movement restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Symons said an information pack was now available for the Queensland cattle industry, producers and general community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has a range of information on the disease, how property owners can reduce the risk of BJD on their property, and what affected producers can expect to happen on their property,\u201d Dr Symons said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll producers should have sound biosecurity practices in place to minimise the risk of pest and diseases being introduced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone who suspects BJD in their animals should contact Biosecurity Queensland immediately on 13-25-23.<\/p>\n
