ClassiFly Workshop - Gulargambone
BREEDING FOR MORE NATURAL AND PROFITABLE FLYSTRIKE RESISTANCE
ClassiFly™ is for any woolgrower that is looking to improve their understanding of what is involved in breeding sheep that are resistant to flystrike, regardless of their climate, and operating and husbandry environments.
The one-day workshop is designed to increase woolgrower knowledge and skills in classing and selection strategies for improved flystrike resistance. Improving a sheep’s natural resistance to flystrike through breeding reduces the risk of flystrike in both mulesed and non-mulesed sheep, reducing labour and reliance on chemical use, mulesing, and crutching. These activities are generally the most labour intensive and costly tools, so reducing reliance on these can improve productivity and profitability, along with improving the lifetime welfare of sheep.
Woolgrowers work through practical activities that enable them to leave with a written breeding objective, specific to their property, that helps further focus their breeding and selection decisions on traits that improve overall animal welfare, profitability and productivity.
Morning tea, lunch and all workshop materials are included.
