This week we have Sarah Blumer lead us through some of the exciting research she is involved with at Murdoch University in Western Australia. Sarah explains the on-farm trials currently underway to help confirm 'best-bet' management guidelines for triplet bearing ewes. She also explains the work underway and the concept of whole-body energy and its importance in breeding a resilient sheep that optimises per hectare performance without compromising animal welfare. Sarah's energy and enthusiasm for sheep is sure to help you pass the time while feeding the sheep, driving the kids to school or where ever you listen to Head Shepherd.
Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with. Get in touch with us if you would like to hear more about how we can help you do what you do best: [email protected].
