Southern Australia Livestock Research Council (SALRC)

MLA strongly encourages grassfed beef and sheepmeat producers across southern Australia to connect with their regional SALRC committee to contribute to the future direction of levy-payer funded research, development and adoption (RD&A) for their area.

The Southern Australian Livestock Research Council (SALRC) was reformed in mid-2015 to gather feedback on the RD&A needs of sheepmeat and grassfed beef producers across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, and from Queensland sheep producers.

SALRC members include sheepmeat and grassfed beef producers, MLA, CSIRO and agencies and universities from each SALRC state.

SALRC is supported by seven regional committees, each chaired by a local producer. The regional committees gather input from local producers and producer networks on local RD&A needs. SALRC then considers the RD&A priorities from each committee to develop the regional RD&A priorities that inform the national priorities for sheepmeat and grassfed beef RD&A recommended by the Red Meat Panel.
