Launching a better future for northern Australian breeding herds | NB2

Location: Online

!2:30 PM - 1:30 PM AEST

Northern Breeding Business (NB2) is a producer designed and led extension, adoption and research program, aimed at increasing breeding herd performance and reducing calf mortality.

The 'Pathway to Practice' pillar is the main focal point and involves groups of producers training and learning together, with the help of a facilitator, to build and implement customised breeding management plans for their own properties. This adoption-focused pillar is supported by 3 research and development pillars entitled herd, feed-base and environment, that provide the missing research required by producers to improve.

Join Lee Fitzpatrick (NB2), Nigel Tomkins (MLA) and producer speakers when they discuss the Northern Breeding Business initiative and how producers can benefit from NB2.

A Q&A session will follow the presentation where you can ask your questions.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
