About Agrisearch
AgriSearch was formed in 1997 to provide a mechanism through which beef, dairy and sheep farmers could have direct involvement in production orientated research. Funds contributed to AgriSearch are used to commission research into the improvement and development of beef, sheep and dairy farming.
AgriSearch’s guiding principal is to provide practical benefit for primary producers to reduce costs, improve performance, drive innovation and improve welfare. Duplication of existing R&D work is avoided and every effort is made to get maximum leverage from complementary funding sources.
The Trustees of AgriSearch have commissioned this site to further assist making information regarding it's research available to farmers, educational facilities and the public. Within the site you will be able to view details of all AgriSearch funded research projects and download project results. AgriSearch and industry related news and links are also available.
