Some of the country's biggest names in beef research, production, extension, sales and consumption have converged on Darwin this week, with everything from methane to pasture quality, genomics and tick resistance under the spotlight.
The 2023 Northern Beef Research Update Conference kicked off with drinks and hors d'oeuvres by the waterfront on Tuesday evening, August 22. The event has attracted hundreds of delegates.
Headline acts on the speaker registry include sensory scientist and flavour chemist associate professor Heather Smyth from the University of Queensland's Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, who will present an innovation for advancing the sensory quality of Australian beef.
Dr David Riley, Professor of Animal Breeding and Genomics in the Department of Animal Science and a member of the Faculty of Genetics at Texas A&M University will also appear, alongside Dr Derek Bailey, a Professor of Range Science at New Mexico State University.
