flag New Zealand launched VetNet-Biosecurity, training 200 vets to quickly respond to animal disease outbreaks, protecting $14.3B in exports.

flag New Zealand has launched VetNet-Biosecurity, a network of private veterinarians trained to respond rapidly to animal disease outbreaks like foot and mouth disease, which could cost $14.3 billion annually in lost exports. flag The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) partnered with the Veterinary Council of New Zealand to train and mobilize up to 200 veterinarians for roles in disease detection, sample collection, and animal welfare during emergencies. flag All registered New Zealand vets can access free training, and participating veterinarians will receive financial compensation while remaining employed by their practices. flag The initiative strengthens national biosecurity readiness and leverages veterinarians’ frontline presence and community trust.
