Summary
A successful Perennial Ryegrass Toxicoses Review Workshop was held on the 11th of July 2012. Working with Stephen Page a final report containing proceedings of the workshop plus overall recommendations was produced and provided to MLA and workshop attendees. A number of project proposals are under development which largely addresses all of the recommendations of the review and there is opportunity for good multi-institutional, multi-state collaborative activity along with excellent prospects for the involvement of the commercial companies including feed and seed companies. It is recommended that another review be conducted in 3-5 years in order to assess and present activity to date, revise the cost to industry and review recommendations and priorities in light of new information.
