Shelf life experience in chilled lamb export supply chains
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)
The shelf life of chilled sheep meats (lamb) is significantly consumed in transport to distant markets and logistics, particularly when shipped to North America or Europe. Successfully growing the value of international trade in these products and maximising opportunities for sale of product would benefit from a longer shelf life...

Extending the shelf life of vacuum-packed sheep meats
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)
The practical shelf life of vacuum-packed sheep meat stored at around -0.5°C is about 90 days for lamb; advantages may accrue to supply chains and customers if shelf life could be extended. The factors leading to the relatively short (compared to beef) shelf life of sheep meat products, further exacerbated...

Implantable identification for cattle - field trials
Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA)
This cattle trial was the recommended next step for Tracking and Tracing Cattle (V.RDA.0002). The project will confirm the discoveries made during the V.RDA.0002, (in)validate the remaining adoption hurdles and build a strong evidence base for more expansive trials and widespread industry adoption of an implantable RFID device/ PIT (passive...
