CSIRO LIVESTOCK INDUSTRIES

Forage feeding value assessment (inlcuding feed preference, intake, NIR spectroscopy, wet chemistry and in vivo digestibility), farm/livestock systems modelling, and development/evaluation of new species and lines of forage shrubs for the low-medium rainfall zone of southern Australia.

How CSIRO Livestock Industries (Landscape and Environment Systems Group) can help Grower Groups through partnerships and services:

1. Collaboration to inform research directions and priorities
2. Modelling farm and livestock production systems scenarios using historical weather data
3. Providing information on establishing/integrating perennial forage shrubs
