Victorian Biosecurity Matters will feature a diverse range of content, including new developments in emergency animal disease.
The newsletter will be a source that farmers, small landholders, animal owners and veterinarians can use in the event of an EAD outbreak.
The newsletter will provide updates on foot-and-mouth disease, lumpy skin disease, varroa mite, pest animals and marine pests.
It will also cover plant diseases and pests and weeds.
Profiles and success stories from within the industry will feature for farmers to learn from the experiences of others.
Biosecurity Victoria executive director Katherine Clift said the newsletter would be a valuable resource for the industry.
“Our goal is to ensure everyone understands the importance of biosecurity and the role they can play in maintaining a healthy and sustainable agriculture industry,” Dr Clift said.
“Biosecurity is everyone’s responsibility and by staying informed and following best practices, we can all contribute to protecting our industry, environment and economy from the threat of pests and diseases.”
