Rather than simply focussing on individual programs, the CRC is already looking to the future and has set about developing a range of products (or outputs) as a result of the science we’re carrying out.
In most cases, the products have been developed across the CRC by using the research carried out in two or more programs. This information will be updated through the life of the CRC as more science is completed.
Come back often to see the latest ‘big hit’, how industry will use the product and how much it will add to value of the Australian and New Zealand cattle industries.
