Next generation wool harvesting

This project will explore the potential for developing an alternative to conventional shearing through R&D directed towards a novel approach, based on delivering a product by feed or injection, which creates a weakened zone in the fleece. The fleece can then be removed by unskilled labour or an automated high-throughput system. If successful, this project will revolutionise wool harvesting, by improving wool quality, eliminating shearer injuries, allowing producers to decide harvesting time, harvesting small numbers of sheep and improving sheep welfare.

Laser for permanent removal of wool foll

The purpose of this project is to research and develop for adoption alternative technologies for wool follicle removal (lambs 8-12 weeks old) that could apply to mulesing and crutching as well as animal husbandry for the meat industry on older sheep. This project builds on the previous project “Duetto Laser Technology for sheep husbandry” which will validate Laser technology for this application in a controlled lab study.

Informed Modeling of Blowfly Chemical Resistance

Outcomes from the analysis of the genetic characteristics of resistant blowfly phenotype and fitness values and the genes and mutations identified by UoM will be shared with UTAS. NSW DPI will also provide up to date resistance information, in the form of calculated resistance factors for field blowfly populations to the listed insecticides, the associated insecticide usage and flystrike management information (if available) to UTAS. These will inform evidence-based enhancements of UTAS’s Resistance Model, with review from UQ.

Zondii On farm Wool Classing

Using patented scientific technology the project aims to enable producers to scan wool in-shed and detect micron, colour and crimp of the wool, by creating machine learning models accessed by affordable non-connected devices. This project will benefit the producer by providing real time wool test results cheaper and quicker than current laboratory options, allowing more sheep to be tested.
