The Australian Government is committed to improving the productivity and profitability of the agricultural sector, especially the sheep and cattle industry. As a part of this, the government has established the National Sheep and Cattle Research and Development program to develop new ways to increase the productivity and profitability of the sheep and cattle industry.

The program is funded through the Australian Farming Biotechnology Research and Development Fund, and it is implemented by the Farm Products Innovation and Reinvestment Program. The program aims to improve the nutritional quality of forage and pasture, the efficiency of feeding systems, and the overall health of sheep and cows.

The LTEM Application is a free digital extension of the Lifetime Ewe Management course, and it is designed to help producers understand the best methods of ewe nutrition. It is also intended to help producers manage the reproduction cycle of their flock, so they can produce more and better quality wool and milk.
