Glyco-Relevant Flystrike Vaccines
Key flystrike antigens have been identified for potential vaccine development, supported by in vitro and in vivo assays to measure performance. This project advances that work by optimising antigen structure and exploring new adjuvants and delivery methods to enhance sheep immunity and protective response.

Environmentl Sustainability Extension FY26-FY27
The project aims to equip Australian woolgrowers with clear, consistent, and practical environmental sustainability information that supports sustainable, profitable sheep production. This will involve the development of information that closely links with productivity, ensuring the information is delivere to woolgrowers in a way that is understood by them, is of...

Validation of Genomic Breeding Values
This project aims to independently evaluate Merino genomic breeding values to validate their accuracy against animal performance at one and two years of age. By assessing 2,000 sire evaluation lambs across three sites, the study seeks to build breeder confidence in early DNA-based selection, reducing reliance on costly ASBV testing...

Bioharvesting Phase 2
This phase of Bioharvesting aims to refine and validate a safe treatment that weakens wool fibres so fleeces can be removed gently and efficiently without the need for shears. This project is an extension to ON-00832 Next Generation Wool Harvesting which has made significant progress towards making bioharvesting a commercial...

Biogenic Carbon Case Studies
This project will deliver detailed farm case studies to provide the high-quality data needed to establish, validate, and support global acceptance of the IWTO Biogenic Carbon Model for wool enterprises. The work will quantify emissions and carbon drawdowns across the production system, enabling robust measurement of wool and sheep meat’s...

Piloting Nature Positive Farming
This project will validate and refine AWI’s nature positive farming framework to provide robust, repeatable, and scalable measures of environmental outcomes on Australian wool farms, ensuring alignment with international schemes like SBTN and TNFD. Building on earlier investments, it seeks co-funding, to support widespread adoption that balances productivity, resilience, and...

Flystrike multi-insecticide resistance
This project will strengthen the Flystrike Resistance Model by incorporating resistance data for imidacloprid and ivermectin, alongside existing dicyclanil and cyromazine profiles, to improve sustainable flystrike management. By analysing resistance trends and on-farm insecticide use, the project will enable refinement of the model and delivery of tailored chemical rotation strategies...

Sheep liveweight estimation systems
This project will develop a cost-effective, remote system using 3D camera and LiDAR technology to estimate sheep weight by creating accurate size and volume models linked to RFID tags. The portable system will enable frequent, real-time flock and individual monitoring, improving decision-making for productivity, health, welfare, and profitability.

Nature Positive Farming
This project advances AWI’s Woolmark+ strategy by operationalising a set of science-based, nature positive farming (NPF) metrics to help woolgrowers demonstrate environmental performance while maintaining profitability. In partnership with Farming for the Future, it will harmonise metrics with existing certification schemes, build grower and certification body capability, and pilot reporting...

Mozzie Mapping
Vector-borne diseases such as pinkeye and Theileria, along with gastrointestinal parasites, cause significant health and production losses, and reports indicate their geographical and seasonal occurrence is increasing in Australia. To address this, the project proposes creating a seasonal outlook service to identify high-risk periods, enabling farmers to take targeted preventative...
