THE Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) is holding a series of free poultry biosecurity workshops in September for pasture-based poultry producers.

A workshop is being held in Bullsbrook on Monday, September 15 from 9am to 1pm.

DPIRD deputy chief veterinary officer Marion Seymour said the workshop would focus on biosecurity actions pasture-based poultry businesses could take to keep their flocks healthy and reduce the risk of a range of diseases, including all types of avian influenza.

“By the end of the workshop, pasture-based poultry owners will have the first draft of a biosecurity plan tailored to their property, a suite of biosecurity information and a farm biosecurity gate sign to take home,” Dr Seymour said.

“Local DPIRD field veterinarians will also be on-hand to assist and answer poultry biosecurity questions.”
