Hi Chinagirl, well i work for the state government Department of Primary Industries. Basically the area i am in is pathology for production animals such as cattle, sheep, goats etc. and a few strange "boutique" industries such as llamas, alpacas, emu's etc. So if a producer has illness in his herds, we receive the samples for testing to figure out what is wrong. The dep. also plays major roles in exotic disease surveillance, we're lucky being an isolated country (for many reasons)but you can't be too careful! Not a terribly glam occupation, but thanks for asking, got to do something to keep the wolves from the door, and pay for the fun things eh!
