Agriculture Victoria’s Sheep Health and Welfare resources provide practical guidance to help producers protect animal wellbeing, meet their duty of care and improve flock performance. The collection brings together information on sheep health, welfare, biosecurity, shelter, transport, lamb survival, pregnancy scanning, predator management and electronic identification, helping Victorian and Australian sheep producers make informed day-to-day management decisions.
The Sheep Health Hub is particularly useful for producers looking to strengthen flock management across key risk and productivity areas. It includes guidance on sheep biosecurity and disease prevention, appropriate shelter and handling, transport and care requirements, and practical strategies to improve lamb survival. Farmers can also access information on detecting multiple foetuses, using electronic identification on farm, managing predators, evaluating autumn feed and pasture-saving decisions, and improving sheep and lamb marketing outcomes. It is a useful starting point for both experienced sheep producers and newer farmers seeking trusted, government-backed resources to support healthier, more productive and resilient flocks.
