Grazing Management

The productivity and profitability of many grazing enterprises in the high rainfall and sheep-wheat zones of Australia can be improved by increasing the attention paid to grazing management. AWI investments in grazing management are focussed on providing wool growers with knowledge, tools and practices to improve the productivity and sustainability of their business.

  • Lifetimewool

    Lifetimewool provides practical guidelines for the nutritional management of the breeding ewe. These guidelines will improve wool cut, lambing, survival and the productive performance of her offspring, resulting in substantial increases in profitability.

  • Grain & Graze

    Grain & Graze helps producers in the sheep-wheat zone identify what combination of livestock, pastures and crops will increase profitability and improve the natural resource base on which they farm.

  • Evergraze

    EverGrazeThe Evergraze program will assist high rainfall producers to increase the profitability of grazing systems whilst improving the natural resource base of the farm.

  • Best Management Practices

    AWI in conjunction with MLA is developing a best practice manual for sheep and wool producers. The manual covers all the key profit drivers for wool production and provides a one stop shop for the latest information on sheep and wool production. 

Overview

The productivity and profitability of many grazing enterprises in the high rainfall and wheat-sheep zones of Australia can be greatly improved by increasing the quantity, quality and utilisation of pasture grown.

AWI investments in grazing management are focussed on providing wool growers with knowledge, tools and products to improve the productivity and sustainability of their business.

AWI invests in the development of improved farming systems for the high rainfall (Evergraze) and sheep/wheat (Grain and Graze) zones which increase whole farm profit through integration of enterprises and improved pasture management and also address natural resource management issues such as recharge and biodiversity.

To support and contribute to profitable and productive farming systems, AWI also invests in management of ewe nutrition to optimise ewe wool production and the lifetime performance of their progeny (Lifetime Wool). Increasing the flocks' weaning percentage and the quality of the progeny’s wool will provide substantial benefits to the business.
