🤔 Concerned about privacy? 🤔

We thought you might be!

That's why the Bloat Alert app only reports the postcode where the bloat occurs, not the exact location, so producers can report cases to assist fellow producers without being identified themselves.

For the last 9 months, Prof. Bruce Allworth, James Allworth and myself have been developing an app to help alert producers to bloat cases in their area.

Inaugural Charles Sturt Lamb Feedlotting Seminar held in November. Thanks to Oilseeds Australia for sponsoring this event. Link to recording: science.csu.edu.au/centres/fred-m…

Beef cattle producers, what are your experiences with bloat? Does it occur regularly, or not not something that affects your cattle? Which pastures/crops cause problems? Have your say. Knowledge of bloat is not required. Survey will take 10-15 mins. research.net/r/Bloat_survey

Have your say- it is YOUR framework. Make sure what you would like to see reported is included.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate with an interest in the application of technology to beef production. Pursue your interest in reproduction, nutrition, management, animal health, welfare and/or supply chain. Contact Shawn McGrath [email protected] for details.

Have you been feeding lambs in a confinement area for production, or in a lamb feedlot? Please help to improve understanding of current practice and identify areas for further research by completing this survey .

Lamb feedlot survey is coming out soon, but here is a chance to provide some initial feedback to Tom to help direct his research.

This opinion piece just published in Animal. Key message is beef industry can be an easy target & need to look at all the facts: 'Opinion paper: Beef, climate change and a slice of common sense'. cambridge.org/core/services/…

Congratulations to Fauve Buckley who has submitted her Honours dissertation following research trials on 4 commercial beef properties in southern NSW. Key finding: vaccination with Bovilis MH+IBR on farm did not impact weight gain in steers prior to feedlot delivery.
