SARDI shows off sheep research

06 Apr, 2009 09:20 AM
More than 150 sheep producers flocked to the Sheep CRC Field Day on April 2 at SARDI's Turretfield Research Centre.

The field day covered the latest developments on ways to improve lamb survival, sheep production, meat quality and sheep genetics.

Farmers also heard about latest efforts by scientists across the country who are attempting to create a powerhouse of genetic information by studying up to 150 traits through an information nucleus flock which links 5000 ewes and to 100 new sires each year.
