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.
Precision Livestock Systems
Objective Management

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
