The sustainability of livestock production systems must urgently be improved. This Future Fellowship builds upon Dr Zamira Gibb's portfolio of high-impact research to deliver extension and adoption activities which will improve the outcomes of cattle and horse selective breeding programs; allowing the dissemination of low-methane genetics to remote Northern Australian cattle breeding regions, reducing wastage of breeding horses and dairy cattle, and improving foal heath and offspring longevity. This project will address the environmental, ethical, and economic concerns which threaten the sustainability of these culturally significant livestock industries which are the cornerstone of everyday life in regional communities.

迫切需要提高畜牧业生产系统的可持续性。该未来奖学金建立在Zamira Gibb博士的高影响力研究组合的基础上，以提供推广和采用活动，这将改善牛和马选择性育种计划的成果;允许将低甲烷遗传学传播到偏远的北方澳大利亚养牛地区，减少种马和奶牛的浪费，并改善马驹健康和后代寿命。该项目将解决威胁这些具有重要文化意义的畜牧业可持续性的环境、道德和经济问题，这些畜牧业是区域社区日常生活的基石。
