Western Australia is moving to relax Bovine Johne's Disease controls after confirming the cattle strain in a South West herd. The herd may have been infected for at least eight years, and as many as 480 herds could be affected.
Looser WA movement controls reduce cattle transport costs and barriers within Australia, with little direct effect on global feed or commodity prices.
After 356 past disease events, LCATTLE moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -0.8% to +1.1%), and +1.1% over 20.
After 266 past disease events, FCATTLE moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (59% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.7%), and +1.7% over 20.
