Low emissions livestock grant program
The government has committed $4 million to support a large-scale trial of Asparagopsis feed supplements in both beef and dairy cattle, that will demonstrate:
- the commercial viability of using a low emissions feed supplement produced in Tasmania
- the emissions reduction from livestock receiving the feed supplements
- the benefits of low emissions feed supplements to Tasmania’s agriculture sector, through targeted education and awareness activities.
The successful applicant for the grant is TasFarmers, in collaboration with the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA), Fonterra, Annandale Dairy Farm, Sea Forest and Tasmanian feedlot AEON.
