The ‘Additional measurements on muscle line cattle’ project investigated the impact of selecting for different levels of muscling on progeny performance in an Angus herd.

The ‘Next gen beef breeding strategies for the northern Australian beef industry’ project investigated genetic and genomic strategies to increase beef reproductive efficiency in northern Australia.

The Selected Brahman project (Northern Territory) aims to improve fertility rates in Bos indicus cattle by focusing on genetic improvement.

The ‘Genotyping and phenotyping for accelerated genetic improvement in northern Australia’ project aims to increase the accuracy of genetically describing the reproductive merit of northern breeding cattle.
