Get the word out about FMD and LSD
11 August 2022
Australia is currently free of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and lumpy skin disease (LSD), and it’s our priority to keep it that way.
While it’s the Australian government’s responsibility to protect Australia from these diseases, the red meat industry – in partnership with MLA – is doing everything possible to support this work. Educating other producers, as well as the wider community, around the steps we can take to prevent FMD and LSD is key.
If you’re interested in helping spread the word about FMD and LSD, social media is a great way to connect. MLA has created a social media toolkit to help you get the important messages about each disease out there and keep our industry FMD and LSD free.
