Producer forum
Results from the Cashcow project conducted across northern Australia highlighted that calf loss significantly impacts cow productivity.
A Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) funded research project will document what we currently know about calf loss and suggest a range of management options to reduce calf loss rates.
Come and meet the research team from MLA, University of Queensland, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries Queensland, Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries Northern Territory and the University of New England (Armidale).
If you’d like some more information about calf loss and causes, how to minimise loss and research priorities, download this information sheet (PDF 139 kB).
