What happens when an entire dairy farm goes under water? In this episode, Dr Stephanie Bullen, Dairy Australia’s National Animal Health & Welfare Lead, speaks with veterinarian Dr Sam Rowe from UniVets Livestock, about his on-the-ground experience responding to the severe flooding that hit New South Wales dairy regions in May 2025. They discuss the animal health impacts – like mastitis, lameness and disease outbreaks – and the practical strategies that helped some farms fare better than others. Hear how to better prepare the herd and farm systems for future flood and wet weather events. For more information and resources, visit Wet Conditions & Floods.
