Team and Leader R. Steen
Organisations Involved ARINI - C.S. Mayne, D. Patterson, A. Carson, and Economics Research Division
Background and Summary
Ruminant livestock production is facing major challenges brought about mainly by the difficult economic climate which now pervades. It is our view that while new innovative research programmes are in hand to help farmers produce milk, beef and lamb more profitably the first need is for farmers to be made fully aware of the considerable amount of research information which is already available on lower cost production systems.
