Understanding Meat Standards Australia — Webinar
2026-02-18 18:00 - 19:30 | Online webinar, Australia
Free national webinar for producers wanting to understand how MSA fits into on-farm decision-making, compliance and market alignment.
Many small and emerging livestock producers hear the term MSA regularly, yet remain unsure how Meat Standards Australia actually works, whether it applies to their operation, or how it fits into everyday on-farm and market decisions.
To help address this gap, JAB Agri Solutions, in collaboration with Meat & Livestock Australia, is delivering an upcoming webinar designed to provide a clear, entry-level introduction to Meat Standards Australia (MSA) — specifically tailored for small-scale, lifestyle and emerging producers.
This session is not designed to be technical or overwhelming. Instead, it focuses on practical understanding and confidence-building, supporting producers to better align production decisions with market requirements.
What the webinar will cover

What Meat Standards Australia is and why it exists
How producers can access and opt in to MSA
Minimum requirements explained in plain language
Producer pathways and what MSA reports actually mean
How MSA fits into on-farm decision-making, compliance and market alignment

The content will walk through MSA from an entry-level perspective, assuming no prior experience with the program. It is designed to complement existing MLA and MSA systems, not duplicate them, and to support correct understanding and application at the producer level.
Who should attend
This webinar is particularly relevant for:

small landholders and emerging cattle producers
producers unsure which market pathways best suit their enterprise
those new to selling livestock or reviewing their current approach
producers wanting clarity on MSA without industry jargon.

As industry expectations around traceability, compliance and eating quality continue to increase, understanding programs like MSA is becoming an important part of making informed, confident business decisions — regardless of enterprise size.
This session aims to give producers clarity, confidence and a practical foundation they can build on over time.
Bring your questions — there will be a Q&A session at the end.

Understanding nitrogen efficiency in beef cattle: Insights from 7 years of research — Webinar
2026-02-24 12:00 - 13:00 | Online webinar, Australia
Presented by the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), this seminar summarises 7 years of research on nitrogen metabolism in northern Australian beef systems. Across multiple studies, δ¹⁵N in tail hair emerged as a clear indicator of whole-animal nitrogen efficiency: animals with lower δ¹⁵N retain more nitrogen, perform better under nutritional or heat stress, and achieve superior growth and reproductive outcomes. With moderate heritability, δ¹⁵N offers real potential for identifying efficient and resilient cattle.
About the presenter
Dr Luis Prada e Silva is an Associate Professor at QAAFI, University of Queensland, specialising in ruminant nutrition. His research explores the biological mechanisms that drive feed efficiency and maternal performance in tropical cattle, supported by strong industry and scientific partnerships. With experience in Brazil, Australia, and the United States, he brings a global perspective to northern beef systems. He has led multiple major research programs, published widely, and supervised numerous HDR students, integrating nutrition, physiology, and genomic tools to improve cattle productivity.
About QAAFI Science Seminars
Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) has been hosting a high-profile seminar series across the disciplines of agriculture, food and nutrition science since 2014.
With a range of speakers from Australia and abroad, the series explores how high-impact science will significantly improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the tropical and sub-tropical food, fibre and agribusiness sectors.
This seminar will be presented online through Zoom webinar.
