Litter and Environment – BMPs and data to support production and industry growth
Shed and litter management practices such as litter tilling, litter reuse and on-farm fan activity can influence the in-shed air quality (atmospheric gases) and odour emissions on a farm. This project looks at how different litter management practices can influence air quality and then use this information to develop best...

The Therapeutic Properties of Coloured Rice-derived Polyphenols
Global obesity rates are of epidemic proportion. With limited treatments available there is a large demand for therapeutic alternatives. Polyphenols derived from coloured rice varieties may serve as a potential functional food alternative in combating obesity and obesity-related diseases. This project will investigate if polyphenols derived from coloured rice can...

The impact of farm practices on rice grain quality in south-eastern Australia
This project aims to help identify farm management practices that can improve Australian rice grain quality and on farm profitability. We will investigate how irrigation management, plant densities, and nitrogen rate and timing of application affect grain quality.

Effect of environment on cereal phenolic composition and its chemopreventive pot
This research is an attempt at investigating the effects climate has on Australian cereal crops such as rice, sorghum, oats and barley. This study involves screening of multiple varieties of these cereals to select the varieties with the most potent anticancer activity, extracts from these cereals will be tested on...

Factors affecting the starch digestibility of rice
This research will investigate the effect of industrial scale thermal processing on the starch digestibility of Australian medium and long grain rice varieties. The total starch, resistant starch and in vitro starch digestibility of processed samples will be measured. Textural, cooking and physicochemical properties of the samples will also determined...

Optimising amino acid profiles and energy in reduced-protein diets
This investment will investigate amino acid requirements and validate ideal protein ratios for modern genotype broiler chickens being fed reduced protein diets containing high inclusion levels of crystalline amino acids. The project will also determine how to best adjust metabolisable energy in reduced protein diets for optimal growth performance and...

Ginger Ninja: Automating disease detection in seed ginger stock
Pests and diseases pose a significant production concern to most ginger growers and are a constant threat to yields. Fusarium, in particular, is a key threat to ginger seed stock as it can be spread through soil from infected plant material. This project pilots the development of an automated vision...

Branched-chain amino acids in wheat-based, crude protein-reduced diets
The chicken meat industry recognises the benefits associated with a reduced crude protein diet. This investment seeks to understand the impact of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) on starch and protein dynamics. The investment will target development of optimal BCAA inclusion in reduced crude protein diets.

Optimising ranging behaviour by free-range meat chickens
By altering rearing environments, early life experience and providing resources on the range, this investment aims to increase the number of chickens that access an outdoor range, increase the frequency and duration of visits to the range area and improve chicken distribution on the range. An increased in range use...
