    Improving farm animal welfare – what’s it worth?

    Published on: 27 January 2021
    Many livestock companies are aware that Australians have growing concerns over the welfare of animals. But it costs money to improve the welfare of farm animals – often a substantial investment by the business. There are many financial, practical, and ethical factors for businesses to consider when improving animal welfare, and the optimal course of action is not always obvious.
  • The sixth Animal Science poster Olympics 2021

    Animal Science Olympics

    Conference
    Established in 2012 by Associate Professor Ala Lew-Tabor, the competition run 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 and the Qld Department of Agriculture & Fisheries.

    The competitors present their research across many broad areas of animal science including koala healing, rumen microbiology and bovine genetics.
