Summary
Delivered by UNE, ParaBoss provides industry leadership in ruminant parasite management through its respected brands, a strong and independent technical foundation, extensive industry networks and well utilised industry web sites. Development, delivery and on-going maintenance of ParaBoss and its resources is currently funded largely by industry through producer levies (MLA and AWI), with some additional funding sourced through the MLA Donor Company and paid advertising and consultancies.
The industry remains committed to ParaBoss being able to continue its role in improving ruminant parasite management but is seeking to reduce its use of producer levies in the next 3-5 years. For this reason, industry is seeking to develop long term external funding arrangements.
The specific purpose of this project was to undertake a review of ParaBoss to provide recommendations on potential funding and commercialisation options to meet the medium and long-term strategic requirements of the program.
The project was co-funded by AWI, MLA and UNE and managed by AWI.
