NSW Gov
The NSW Government has today trucked in an initial 200 tonnes of emergency feed to Tenterfield so farmers impacted by the local fires can access feed. The fodder supplies are being trucked into Tenterfield due to the minimal local supplies.
The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Local Land Services (LLS) are operating an Agricultural and Animal Services Functional Area (AASFA) in the Tenterfield area so that emergency assistance can be offered.
Assistance available for farmers includes:
- Emergency fodder
- Emergency stock water (where there is an immediate animal welfare concern)
- Animal assessment and veterinary assistance
- Stock euthanasia and burial
- Livestock feeding and management advice
- Care of animals including pets and companion animals in evacuation centres.
