The practical one-day BWFW workshops aim to help sheep producers combine genetics decision-making with ewe nutrition management to boost reproduction rates and productivity.
MLA’s livestock productivity general manager Dr Jane Weatherley is encouraging breeders using Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) to volunteer to host an on-farm workshop.
“The workshops can help prospective clients to understand how ASBV technology can help refine their ram buying decisions,” Dr Weatherley said.
To host a workshop, breeders need to make available six to eight rams with ASBVs, and 15 to 20 sheep with varying condition scores, for use in practical demonstrations.
