Cattle tick collection in the Parkhurst tick zone

The Department of Primary Industry and Resources (DPIR) is currently conducting resistant cattle tick surveillance within the Parkhurst zone in order to establish if there has been any further spread of resistant cattle tick.

DPIR is asking that properties within the Parkhurst zone present cattle for tick collection this season. Please contact Rob Wait, Regional Livestock Biosecurity Officer Darwin, on (08) 8999 2034 to arrange a suitable time for tick collection or for further information.
