The burp factor: How measuring methane in NT beef herds is boosting productivity
2026-06-17 12:00 - 13:00 | Online webinar, Australia
Join us for the upcoming Beef Connect webinar where we will dive into how the Zero Net Emissions Agriculture CRC (ZNE-Ag CRC) is measuring methane on northern Australia beef cattle operations.
Our guest presenters are Northern NT property manager Michael Johnson and ZNE research director Ben Hayes, who will talk about:

What production benefits measuring and reducing methane can deliver
Strategies to reduce methane (hint: they are highly linked to a more efficient breeder herd!)
Is methane emission production an inherited trait? Ben will discuss how this is being measured across the north through extensive genetic reference populations.
Michael Johnson (Tipperary Group General Manager) will discuss how a commercial station became involved in the ZNE CRC and what business outcomes he is aiming for, as well as the practical implementation of methane reduction strategies on an NT property.

Driving down shrink: How producers can protect cattle weight in transit
2026-07-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Online, Australia
Photo supplied by MLA.
Transporting cattle over long distances can be a stressful process for both animals and producers. Without access to feed and water, cattle can experience significant weight loss—known as “shrink”—which can impact their health, productivity, and value. It occurs as a result of lost fluids, body tissue, faeces, and urine, but the good news is that it’s both measurable and manageable.
Join Dr Tony Parker (MLA) and Dr Elizabeth Parker BVSc PhD (Ohio State University) to learn practical strategies that can help you minimise shrink and keep your cattle healthier and more market-ready.
