QAAFI's seminar 'Precision Beef – Improving breeding, feed efficiency, production and beef flavours' at Beef Australia 2021 will include discussion from beef industry leaders on how applying new techniques across the supply chain has produced better results.

Initiated by producers, for producers, the Northern Breeding Business, better known as the NB2 program, is a seven-year program formed to address cow reproductive efficiency, a significant industry issue for the northern herd.  Structured under an overarching ‘Pathways to Practice’ theme, the program focuses on addressing herd, feed base and environmental challenges to improve the sustainability, productivity and profitability of northern beef herds.

Breeding values are a powerful tool in predicting the performance of herds.  Meat & Livestock Australia’s genetics investments span 30 years of data used to underpin this valuable genetic tool that is being used to influence on-farm profit drivers and support the resilience of the red meat industry through commercial application.
The DNA to Dollars Forum will demonstrate how cross-industry collaborations have resulted in furthering enhancements of the genetic tools available to all cattle producers. You’ll be informed about key research findings, hear firsthand experiences from producers utilising genetics tools, along with opportunities for you to get involved in collaborations and projects.
