Abstract

S³ was initiated in November 2004 by a small number of industry individuals and a group of elite merino and mid micron breeders and will run until November 2007. It is a project that brings together two sectors of the sheep breeding industry that views the sustainable management of parasites critical to their and their commercial client’s futures. The project aims to examine the issue of sustainable parasite management via a number of approaches and not to focus on a single element of parasite management. Key elements addressed include the synergy between sustainable parasite management, breeding for resistance and property bio-security, to enhance farming operations.
