Sustainable internal parasite control in goats

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

There are few effective anthelmintic products registered for use in goats and some producers may be incorrectly using products off label. This project will generate data for vets to provide better advice to producers and give them confidence that they are supplying products without violative residues that could risk goatmeat...

Glasshouse assays to determine the role

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

Pasture dieback has emerged widespread across Queensland causing significant impacts to pasture, affecting beef production systems. This will determine the progress of dieback from initial infestation with mealybug (in 3susceptible grasses) from initial infestation to death of grass, identifying any association with other pathogens that may lead to dieback. Screening...

Biology of Pasture Mealybug and Identification of Natural Enemies (CAS-1)

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

Pasture dieback has emerged widespread across Queensland causing significant impacts to pasture, affecting beef production systems. This will investigate a potential causal agent, the mealybug, to assist in the understanding of what causes pasture dieback. Potential natural enemies of the mealybug will also be identified. This project falls under the...

Resistant grass varieties and endophytes

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

Pasture dieback has emerged across Queensland causing significant impacts to pasture, affecting beef production systems. This project aims to identify pasture species that are resistant to dieback and find endophytes that protect grasses from mealybug attack. If successful, the outcomes provide both short term (pasture species)recommendations, assist plant breeding and...

Impact of herbicides, pesticides and other farm management tactics

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

This project will review published literature and consult with industry to identify the impact of management practices, such as herbicides, pesticides and soil inputs, on legume-rhizobia interactions and devise legume re-inoculation strategies. This will help inform future R&D investment to optimise N-fixation and legume, biomass and livestock production.

Boosting natural regeneration of the nitrogen capital in grazing lands

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)

The project aims to quantify bioavailable-nitrogen (N) under contrasting spelling, fire and stocking regimes. It will also identify and characterise the microbial communities that generate nitrogen and identify N-smart management strategies that maximise nitrogen and bioeconomic outcomes.
