THE NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Local Land Services are encouraging farmers across the state to vaccinate their cattle and sheep against anthrax - a serious disease that can kill stock of any age or class with no warning.
NSW graziers are being reminded to vaccinate their stock against anthrax.
DPI's senior veterinary officer, Dr Amanda Walker, said anthrax is unpredictable and annual vaccination should be considered on high risk properties as it can lie dormant in the soil for decades.
The NSW DPI is urging contract harvesting staff to pay close attention to machinery hygiene.
