| The third-term CRC aims to increase the competitiveness of Australian beef businesses by using emerging genetic technologies to: Improve capacity to deliver high quality beef to Australia’s 110 global markets using cattle of known genetic merit for exacting specifications, without compromising animal welfare or the environment; Enhance beef yield and herd reproductive efficiency, Improve efficiency of resource use, reduce production costs, minimise methane emissions and avoid chemical and antibiotic residues through precise application of knowledge about the genes controlling these attributes in cattle, their rumen microorganisms and in parasites affecting herd productivity; and Ensure Australia is the number one supplier of beef to meet the growing demand by neighbouring Asian countries to 2020. The products update book below provides an update on progress towards products specifically being developed by the third-term CRC. It also contains a summary of outcomes from the first two phases of the Beef CRC's research, which now spans 18 years in the Australian beef industry. |
