  • The use of a new feed additive in the cereal beef sector (trial completed at Harper Adams University College).
  • Greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of beef production systems.
  • The development of system specific dry calf feeds.
  • The importance of forage quality (part of SilAC initiative).
  • Mineral nutrition in the beef sector.
  • New farm management services beef model.
  • Routine review of beef sector scientific literature.
