The Government of South Australia wants to work side by side with producers to increase the productivity and profitability of producers and grow the state’s cattle herd and sheep flock. This is the premise at the heart of the Red Meat and Wool Growth Program.
The Red Meat and Wool Growth program provides a strong pathway for the industry to become more resilient and forward looking with the focus on technology adoption, strategic skill development and enhancing biosecurity.
Recently two important initiatives of the Red Meat and Wool Growth Program have commenced.
The Livestock Tech Talk series is dedicated to informing livestock producers on how adopting technology, infrastructure or best practice can add productivity, profitability and efficiency gains to their businesses. The first four podcasts have been released:
- Benefits of adopting electronic identification for sheep and cattle
- Getting it Right: Sheep and Cattle Yard Design
- Learning from Carwoola: Digital Technologies for different rural environments
- Saving time and money with remote water monitoring
Subscribe to the Livestock Tech Talks podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or search for ‘Livestock Tech Talks’ in your preferred podcast directory.
