MLA & AWI July 31, 2024

Module 12 Efficient Pastoral Production is designed to help pastoral sheep producers increase the productivity and profitability of their enterprise.

This pastoral-specific module has been developed within the context of Australia’s pastoral zones, taking into consideration issues and management perspectives pertinent to these areas.

The pastoral area extends across low-rainfall areas, including semi-arid and arid, and also some seasonally high-rainfall zones. The pastoral zone is generally defined as an area in which native pastures and shrubs are grazed by introduced domestic herbivores (sheep, cattle, goats), feral herbivores (goats, donkeys, horses, camels, rabbits) and large native herbivores (kangaroos).
