Funded Activity Summary

Establishment of a viable sheep dairy industry in Australia. Australia imports some $10 million/year of sheep dairy products, and has a fledgling sheep milking industry. The industry needs practical management strategies to maximise returns from milk and lambs under Australian conditions. We also need to develop typical Australian sheep dairy products. This project will: o investigate techniques to select dairy sheep from large unselected flocks o examine management strategies to maximise returns from milk and lambs o study udder morphology and milk ejection patterns in dairy sheep o develop specialty sheep milk dairy products and o determine their acceptance by consumers by conducting market surveys.
