Precision Livestock Systems

An objective production model

Poor productivity gains of the livestock industries

New thinking is needed to drive productivity

Think outside the square

A major problem is mob variability

Mob Variability – 2100 Longreach Merinos

Mob Variability – 1200 1st X Lambs

The Key - Get out of

commodity & into high value

markets

High value markets are less susceptible to market forces.

Objective Management

Resource Livestock

Livestock

Individual Animal management

All animals carry an Electronic Identification Tag (EID)

Currently - Auto Weighing & Drafting

Monitor & manage individual animals.

Relatively labour intensive.

Some degree of animal stress, impacting weight gain.

The Future - Remote Weighing & Drafting

•Manage as individuals•Labour free.•Animal stress free.

Resource

Rest & Recovery Grazing

High impact for short periods with long period of rest for recovery

• Large mobs

• Small paddocks

• High intensity grazing for short periods - with long periods of rest

• Critical for internal parasite control

• Improved perennial grass dominance

• Improved productivity

• Integrates Precision Livestock Systems data collection

• Enables accurate feed budgeting

Rest & Recovery Grazing

Integrated data management

• Custom designed software

• Data applicable to each chain participant

• Transparency through the entire value chain

• Improved efficiency & productivity for all chain participants
