Department of Agriculture and Water Resources
We have been notified by a commercial exporter of an incident involving cattle deaths on a live export vessel exporting to Indonesia.
Prior to departure, the department undertook pre-export inspections to ensure that the livestock met requirements under the Export Control Act 2020 and importing-country requirements.
There is no suggestion that exotic animal disease is involved. We are investigating the incident as per normal procedures and as a matter of priority.
Australia remains free of exotic animal diseases such as Lumpy Skin Disease and Foot and Mouth Disease.
