Did you know? Pregnancy scanning has a high return on investment when the information
from scanning is used to make selection decisions and optimise nutrition. A benefit-cost analysis (BCA) has demonstrated that scanning for multiples returns an average profit of $5.55/ewe. Scanning for only pregnancy status was about half as profitable,
at $2.65/ewe on average.

Looking forward to hosting the next Meat & Livestock Australia P&P Series webinar on 8 May 2024, 7.00pm - 8.00pm (AEDT) with Anne Collins, the principal of AC Ag Consulting with nearly 30 years’ experience working with livestock industries in Australia.

Anne’s particular areas of interest include sheep breeding and genetics, reproduction efficiency, technology adoption, and data management. She recently completed a three-year Meat & Livestock Australia funded PDS project “Maximising Dorper Reproductive Performance”, working with a group of producers on the far west coast of SA to find ways to increase the reproductive efficiency of their self-replacing Dorper flocks.

In 2022, Anne joined forces with the The University of Adelaide to successfully tender for the MLA Donor Company funded project, “Quantifying and improving reproductive performance of shedding sheep”.

This webinar will cover:

• Understanding weaning rate as a key profit driver in a shedding sheep business
• Fit to join assessment of ewes and rams
• Cost-effective management practices to increase reproduction rate.

Don't miss this.
