Initiative
Successful cattle monitoring trials using satellites.
Overview
Satellites are being used to remotely monitor and analyse performance of individual cattle and pastures in Northern Australia.
This has led to the development of commercial software that enhances cattle management.
Benefits
Cattle producers will be able to improve beef production results while using less labour and on-site work. This will lower costs and increase returns for producers.
Earlier detection of issues and targeted monitoring will lead to better cattle condition and management.
