Established in 2012 by Professor Ala Tabor, this competition is hosted by QAAFI's Centre for Animal Science. In previous years the competition has attracted more than 26 participants, both research higher degree students and early career researchers in animal science from different UQ Schools and Institutes, CSIRO, the Qld Department of Agriculture & Fisheries and others.
The competitors present their research across many broad areas of animal science including koala healing, rumen microbiology and bovine genetics.
