Summary
The purpose of this plan was to outline a five year strategy for Meat & Livestock Australia's (MLA's) research and development (R&D) for the beef cattle feedlot sector for the period 2006-2011. This Feedlot Program strategic plan is part of a broader MLA livestock production R&D plan which buids on existing MLA livestock production plans and R&D activities, and is aligned with the Federal Government's National Research Priorities and Rural R&D priorities as well as key industry plans such as the Meat Industry Strategic Plan (MISP). Extensive consultation has been undertaken with other Rural Research and Development Corporations (RDCs), Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs), State Government entities, CSIRO and universities.
The overall framework, process and key elements of strategic planning for MLA investment into livestock production R&D are outlined in the MLA Livestock Production Research and Development Strategic Plan 2006-2011. This strategic plan for the Feedlot sector supports this overall plan along with other sector plans for Northern Beef, Southern Beef, Lamb and Sheepmeat and Goatmeat. A one page diagram that summaries the Feedlot Program strategy for 2006-2011 can be found in Appendix 1 of this document.
