Meat & Livestock Australia explains foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease, noting Australia remains free of both. Both diseases were detected in Indonesia, with FMD found in Bali on July 5 and LSD in Indonesia since March.
Disease detections close to Australia raise the risk of an outbreak that would disrupt Australian livestock exports and shift global beef and dairy trade flows, supporting prices for competing exporters.
