Effectiveness of enzyme formulations for removing dags on cattle in feedlots
Dags are a major issue to the Australian and international feedlot industry causing significant costs to feedlots and processors, water usage and animal stress. Previous work by QUT funded by MLA developed an enzymatic formulation for breaking down the dag-hair bond which was shown to be effective in laboratory trials. The primary objective of this project is to further refine and then test effectiveness in a commercial setting.
