Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) are calling for interested and skilled partners to review and redevelop the MLA Cost of Production (COP) calculator.

The Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) Donor Company (MDC) is seeking expressions of interests (EOI) from publicly funded research organisation’s (PFRO) commercialisation entity who have technology prototype(s) that are ready to be considered for delivering benefits to the Australian red meat and livestock sector. Prototype(s) must be at least partially validated at a low-medium fidelity technology readiness level of 4 or greater and will be evaluated on a first-come-first-served basis against MLA investment decision criteria and priorities. 

There is no maximum or minimum project size, only that all submissions are based on 60% participant and 40% MDC co-investment cash contribution. MLA is flexible on Intellectual Property (IP) ownership to best drive future commercial success and welcomes a clear adoption pathway for PFRO’s to engage with industry stakeholders in the build, test and launch stages.

Bloat remains a significant and growing animal welfare and productivity issue for grassfed cattle producers in southern Australia, exacerbated by improved legume-rich pastures and the withdrawal of reliable intra-ruminal monensin capsules from the market. This Terms of Reference calls for proposals to explore short-, medium- and long-term alternatives for bloat prevention, detection, and management to improve animal wellbeing and reduce production losses.

Buffel grass pastures are of significant importance to red meat production in both northern and central Australia. Studies have also shown that cattle perform well on buffel-based pastures. As a persistent groundcover, buffel can rapidly re establish after rain or fire, stabilise soils and reduce dust/erosion; these attributes are valued by producers and land management organisations when rehabilitating degraded rangelands. However, recent nomination of buffel grass as a potential Weed of National Significance (WONS) has raised significant concerns among the many producers reliant on buffel.

MLA is seeking applications from organisations or consortiums to conduct a project that defines the role buffel grass plays in reducing soil erosion, and increasing carbon sequestration, in Australian red meat production zones. This will complement an economic benefit assessment being undertaken in parallel.

Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has opened Expressions of Interest for BulkUp, a new program designed to help red meat businesses improve production efficiency and whole‑farm profitability.

BulkUp combines MLA’s established adoption products such as EDGEnetwork courses, Profitable Grazing Systems and more, under a long term peer‑to‑peer learning and supported coaching model. It focuses on strengthening management and financial decision‑making, improving production efficiency by optimising feedbase utilisation.
