Better use of pregnancy scanning technology
This project aims to improve adoption of pregnancy scanning of ewes by 25% over 10 years with 25% more flocks managed according to litter size, leading to a 5% increase in twin‐lamb survival in pure Merinos, faster lamb growth and higher ewe survival. Opportunities to further improve the utility of pregnancy scanning will also be investigated, including identifying early indicators of foetal health, the feasibility of remote diagnosis of scanning imagery, machine learning and the better linking of the technology with electronic identification sheep tags and associated data capture.
