Mutton's Pork CRC transitioning
Pork CRC Chairman Dennis Mutton and CEO Roger Campbell met with West Australian researchers and industry representatives on 1 May to workshop opportunities and ideas for innovative R&D as Pork CRC transitions to Australasian Pork Research Institute Limited (APRIL), which commenced in November 2016.
Pork CRC’s eighth and final investment round has been completed, with the board supporting 11 of 37 investments. The next round by APRIL will be in October–November this year.
Mutton said APRIL would focus on supporting projects, preferably with industry partners, which would have smart outcomes, including commercialisation prospects and intellectual property generation such as feed efficiency, feed utilisation, pig health and antibiotic resistance and cost-effective means of enhancing animal welfare.
