This study guide considers the science behind breeding, genetics, health and animal welfare in the cattle and sheep industries - keeping animals free of disease and parasites, improving biodiversity and protecting against feral animals. A range of articles and student activities explores how farmers and scientists are working together to breed healthy livestock well suited for the Australian landscape and how research in the areas of genetics, vaccine development, vet science and even computer science are actively involved in improving animal health.
