Tracker eartag takes livestock monitoring to new heights
A new eartag developed by Ceres in collaboration with CSIRO and MLA uses satellites to track livestock movements in real time.
Animal welfare
The wellbeing and health of animals is paramount for producers and the broader beef industry. The industry invests in research, development and adoption programs to ensure high standards of animal welfare and continuous improvement.
Good animal welfare is not only a legal requirement, it is entrenched in our industry’s standards and guidelines and has led to Australia becoming world leaders in animal health.
The animal welfare theme of the Framework was developed with the five freedoms and, the more recent, five domains of animal welfare in mind.
