Summary
BeefLinks is an RD&E partnership for the WA beef industry which aims to develop a more productive, sustainable and higher valued supply chain. The project will look at critical control points across the supply chain and use evidence collected from research and trials to provide new strategies for the management and movement of cattle.
Objectives
The project aims to deliver $72 million in net benefits to over 750 producers through increased production of saleable meat, increased weaning rates, a reduction in off-spec cattle and positive landscape management across the supply chain.The project aims to deliver $72 million in net benefits to over 750 producers through increased production of saleable meat, increased weaning rates, a reduction in off-spec cattle and positive landscape management across the supply chain.
