WESTERN Australian livestock industry stakeholders have been invited to a series of Foot and Mouth Disease preparedness forums across the state from next week.

The four regional in-person information forums on FMD disease preparedness will be back up by online resources provided by the host, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development WA.

The free forums will cover:

 knowing the signs of FMD and lumpy skin disease (LSD)

 what DPIRD is doing to prevent and prepare for a disease outbreak

 what you can do to protect your livestock.
