People In Agriculture 2

People in Agriculture is a free online resource that features information on employment law, career management and professional practice for employees and employers in agriculture. This investment will provide employment information to dairy farmers to enable safe, positive, productive agricultural workplaces; improve the perception of agriculture as a workplace and career; and enable them to attract and retain capable people in agriculture through a collective (collaborating Research and Development Corporations), independent approach to reach new cohorts.

On-line measurement of intramuscular fat in hot lamb carcases

An imaging needle using an established medical technology has established a positive proof-of-concept to measure Intra Muscular Fat (IMF) percentage in an un-cut lamb carcase. Intramuscular fat contributes positively to the juiciness and flavour of lamb and is a useful indicator of eating quality. This project will assist in refining the pre-commercial prototype probe under development, validate the precision and accuracy of IMF measurement and release a prototype device to an early-adopter industry partner.
