  Please report any displaced livestock via the Agriculture and Animal Services hotline on 1800 814 647.

  As flood waters recede, we are continuing to work with landholders, local council, contractors, and other government agencies to locate and safely rehome displaced or straying livestock.

  Due to the sheer scale of these floods, it is very hard to predict where livestock will be found. You can help us rehome livestock by calling the Agriculture and Animal Services hotline immediately on 1800 814 647 if you come across stranded, lost or injured livestock.

  Landholders can also request emergency fodder for livestock, animal assessment, veterinary advice and if required, euthanasia and burial using the hotline on 1800 814 647.

  The Agriculture and Animal Services hotline operates from 8am-8pm, 7 days a week.

• REPORT DECEASED LIVESTOCK

  As floodwater is subsiding across Northern NSW, the Local Land Services is reminding landholders and members of the public to report deceased livestock to the Agriculture and Animal Services hotline.

  Due to the nature and sheer scale of these floods, it is very hard to predict where deceased animals will be found, some can be washed hundreds of kilometres away.

  Deceased livestock do pose a human health risk, but by reporting them immediately, work will be done to remove them as quickly as possible and reduce the risk of disease and contamination.

  For landholders needing animal assessment and disposal, or members of the public who encounter a deceased animal can report it to the Agriculture and Animal Services hotline on 1800 814 647.
