About the speaker
Désirée Jackson is originally from Canada. She worked in Richmond, NW Queensland and Swan’s Lagoon Research Station prior to coming to Longreach. She has had a dual role as a scientist and extension officer.
She is the project leader and one of the authors for the book “Phosphorus management of beef cattle in northern Australia” and recently was one of the authors of the “Weaning management in northern Australia” book.
She has been heavily involved in the delivery of the Breeding EDGE and Nutrition EDGE workshop packages across Queensland.
She led a statewide MLA-funded NIRS project across Queensland and Barkly Tablelands in the Northern Territory, to look at how well the NIRS technology which measures diet quality in grazing cattle, worked across a number of land systems, and to assist producers with the adoption of the technology.
Désirée ran a long-term grazing trial at Rosebank Research Station to look at steer growth rates and diet quality on Mitchell grass country across a range of stocking rates which she is currently writing up.
She was a partner for a number of years in cattle properties in the Stonehenge area until recently, and now provides a NIRS diet quality service for cattle producers.
