AVA Conference Gold Coast 2020

James Cook University (JCU) and The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) in the Burdekin Catchment have been collaborating to provide fifth year veterinary students a grounding in extensive beef production. This collaboration value adds to the students’ knowledge and understanding of the Australian Beef Industry and production systems thus building the capacity of a new veterinarian. It also meets the Grazing BMP and Extension Support team’s objective of supporting stakeholders such as JCU to increase the knowledge and skills required to better service the grazing industry and meet ReefPlan objectives.
