# Biosecurity plan vital when moving cattle in NT​ | Queensland Country Life | QLD

> AgForce said that Western Australia and the Northern Territory now require biosecurity plans and health declarations for cattle movements linked to Johne's disease. Nearly a third of live export cattle leaving Darwin come from Queensland. AgForce is working with the Northern Territory government to ease the requirements.

## Why it matters

Stricter entry rules add paperwork and cost for Queensland cattle sent through Darwin, which may slightly reduce live export flows. The impact on broad commodity prices is minimal.
