Summary

This CMA is a sub project to B.CCH.1050 (National strategies and Coordination) of the Reducing Emissions from Livestock Research Program. It was been created in order to cover expenses of the Science Advisory Panel which was formed to provide technical advice and scientific review of projects within the RELRP.
The research projects covered a range of specialized and, in some cases, cutting edge science including animal nutrition, metagenomics, rumen microbiology and innovative measurement and expertise accessed through the Science Advisory Panel was essential in ensuring that the research was on track and of a high quality. This in turn ensured that MLA was able to meet the requirements of the Head Agreement for active coordination to effectively meet the priorities of the Australian Farming Future Climate Change Research Program.
