Project 32: Disposal priority project focusing on pyrolysis and composting as methods for large animal disposal
This project evaluates composting and pyrolysis as methods of disposal in a large animal disease response.
Project 34: Agricultural Traceability Enhancement: Australian Government contribution
Agricultural traceability is a shared responsibility between industry, governments and the broader agricultural supply-chain participants. Activities will support action to meet the objectives of the National Agricultural Traceability Strategy 2023 to 2033.
Project 17: Feral pig modelling
Spatial modelling will be used to better understand feral pig distributions and their ecology, enabling cost-effective strategies for feral pig management.
Project 09: MicroRNA biomarkers for improved detection of animal diseases in a Johne’s disease model
This project aimed to evaluate the use of host microRNA (biomarker) response to detect Johne’s disease in cattle.
Project 08: Development and evaluation of a point-of-care test network for emergency animal disease diagnosis
This project aims to develop a suite of tests on a portable, battery-operated multiplexing qPCR platform for the detection of major emergency diseases of cattle and pigs.
Project 07: Lumpy skin disease testing capacity building in the LEADDR network
This project aims to improve Australia’s LSD testing capability by strengthening the testing capability of the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness and across the Laboratories for Emergency Animal Disease Diagnosis and Response network.
Project 20: Building emergency animal disease preparedness in domestic abattoirs
This project saw Mintrac partner with industry and government to deliver a suite of EAD preparedness training materials specific to abattoir personnel.
Project 22: Risk assessment for the introduction of lumpy skin disease into Australia through non-regulated pathways
This formal risk assessment was undertaken to inform and target prevention and preparedness activities for LSD.
Project 02: Evaluation of antibody-detecting immunoassays for lumpy skin disease exposure in cattle and buffalo
This project aims to evaluate the suitability of 3 antibody detection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for lumpy skin disease (LSD) surveillance and proof-of-freedom testing, in cattle and buffalo in Australia.
