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.
The half-day workshops are being held in Nannup, Bullsbrook, Pinjarra and Mount Barker, from 9am to 1pm.
Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer Marion Seymour said the workshops would focus on biosecurity actions pasture-based poultry businesses can 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.”
Morning tea and lunch are provided.

Workshop details are available by emailing animalbiosecurity@dpird.wa.gov.au.
