A $6 million research investment to future proof Western Australia's northern beef industry, led by the WA Government, has hit the ground with the arrival of cattle at the State's Kununurra research station for the first time in 25 years.
The 54 Brahman light feeder steers, located at the Frank Wise Institute of Tropical Agriculture, are a part of the Cropping Enabled Cattle project.
The innovative project will examine the use of by-products from Ord River Irrigation Area crops as cattle feed - particularly from the region's burgeoning cotton industry.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) is leading the project, which also includes the WA Agricultural Research Collaboration, the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia and the Cotton Research and Development Corporation.
Over the next few years scientists from DPIRD, CSIRO, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia will work alongside local producers and businesses, who helped develop the project.
The Cropping Enabled Cattle project builds on the Cook Government's efforts to grow the north through its Northern Beef Development program, horticulture and fodder crop research and development, as well as extensive investments to help establish a thriving cotton industry.
