Keeping Coccidiosis at bay - in sheep, cattle and goats
2024-07-09 13:00 - 14:00 (Australia/Brisbane) | Qld
Join the ParaBoss extension team for an in-depth exploration of Coccidiosis in sheep, cattle and goats.
You hear a lot of talk about ‘Coxie’ causing disease in livestock, but what is it?
This parasite more formally called ‘coccidiosis’, affects young sheep, cattle and goats, plus a range of other animal species, including pigs and chooks. As well as death and sickness, Coxie can slow growth rates in young stock. Sometimes undiagnosed stock losses may be due to Coxie.
In this webinar, Dr Alison Gunn will explain the conditions in which Coxie develop, signs and symptoms of the disease and its impact on livestock, plus steps you can take to minimise its impact.

Breeding for Poll in AACo: modelling to implementation
2024-07-10 12:30 - 13:30 | Qld
Breeding herds with an increasing proportion of polled animals is highly topical in the Australian beef industry. Producer and public concerns surrounding dehorning mean that actively selecting for polled is an attractive option. However, balancing selection for polled with other traits and maintaining genetic diversity within a herd is challenging. Therefore, it is essential that the implications of integrating polled into an existing breeding program be considered (as accurately as possible), and as part of designing and implementing a breeding program.
In a collaboration between MLA, Australian Agricultural Company and the University of Queensland, this project has created a highly accurate ‘digital twin’ of AACo’s seedstock breeding program. This ‘twin’ allows for the optimization of the breeding program to find the most effective pathway to a polled herd. The key part of the digital twin is the use of the genomic Simulation software which uses real genotypes to simulate offspring, this allows realistic breeding values and inbreeding to be calculated for multiple generations.
The project has sought to answer questions such as:
• What is the optimal blend of natural service, artificial insemination and embryo transfer in a breeding program?
• How much selection pressure can be applied for polled without compromising genetic gain for other traits?
In this BeefConnect webinar, Join Matthew Kelly (Principal Scientist – AACo) and James Copley (Quantitative Geneticist – AACo) when they discuss:
Breeding for poll in practice and its challenges:
o Managing animal performance and polled.
o Managing genetic diversity and polled.
o Impact of scurs.
How to use the digital twin to drive better decision-making:
o Predicting the rate of genetic gain for polled and other traits.
o Examining the level of inbreeding under different selection scenarios.
o Industry applications of the digital twin.

Can’t say enough good things about RCS. Knowledge of presenters was fantastic. Course I believe every grazier should do. Follow up and information attendees can access is great! Walt
A grazing or Farming for Profit course has the highest return on any education $ you will ever spend. RCS provides across the board education tools and backup that, without doubt helps agricultural businesses to become more profitable, sustainable and better prepared to bounce back after droughts, downturns and floods. Brian
Best well-rounded course. Honestly the best well-rounded course I have ever taken. I loved how immersive it was to make us really zone in on our businesses. It made me look at our numbers with different eyes and consider all aspects of our grazing business, not just tax and cashflow. It gave me more tools and understanding than I ever thought was possible. This gives us confidence with our decision making and future. Janeta

23rd Australasian Weeds Conference
2024-08-25 - 2024-08-29 | Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Brisbane
Welcome
Invasive Species Queensland (formerly the Weed Society of Queensland) is excited to collaborate with the Council of Australasian Weed Societies (CAWS) in hosting the 23rd Australasian Weeds Conference (AWC). Join us from August 25 to 29, 2024 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre for this significant national event.
Weeds continue to impact biodiversity, agriculture, and public spaces, posing challenges to productivity and land use. The 23rd AWC provides a platform to unite, share ideas, and explore effective weed management strategies. We extend a warm invitation to all involved in weed research, policy and extension to join us and contribute to this vital discussion.
About Invasive Species Queensland
The members of Invasive Species Queensland (ISQ) share a common interest in weeds and pest animals and their management. Previously called the Weed Society of Queensland (WSQ), the Society was formed in 1975 with the aim of advancing the understanding and practice of weed management. In recent years the society expanded its scope to include pest animals and the WSQ was renamed Invasive Species Queensland in 2022. ISQ is one of the seven member societies of the Council of Australasian Weed Science Societies (CAWS) and its members are from diverse backgrounds: practitioners to policy people; landholders to scientists.
