Improving the Sustainability of Australian Livestock Production Systems

迫切需要改善畜牧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，以提供推广和收养活动，这将改善牛和马选择性育种计划的成果；允许将低甲烷基因传播到偏远的北澳大利亚养牛地区，减少饲养马匹和奶牛的浪费，改善马驹的健康和后代的寿命。该项目将解决环境、伦理和经济问题，这些问题威胁着这些具有重要文化意义的畜牧业的可持续性，而畜牧业是区域社区日常生活的基石。

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.
