In recent years there has been a major increase in research efforts to address challenges around the production of beef from the dairy herd, including the development of a number of large-scale joint initiatives with industry partners.

The Dairy Calf-to-Beef International Conference will provide a platform for the dissemination of the latest results from these studies, as well as updates on state of the art technological advances in dairy-beef production, internationally.

In addition, this conference will provide an opportunity for delegates to learn about new innovations to promote sustainability within the sector and to underpin the future viability of dairy and beef sectors.

Leading national and international scientists will compare:

• intensive concentrate-based and pasture-based dairy-beef systems and their impact on financial and environmental sustainability;
• the impact of new developments in beef cattle genetics targeted for use in the dairy herd;
• nutrition of dairy-beef calves in early life;
• health of dairy-beef calves in intensive and pasture-based systems as well as
• measures to support better vertical integration of the dairy-beef industry.
