Expression of Interest Submission for Selecting for More Methane Efficient Sheep

Sep 1, 2026

This document is a template for submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a project focused on selecting sheep that are more efficient in terms of methane production. It outlines the necessary contact details, project timeframe with proposed dates for weaning, sire joining, and methane measurement. The template also prompts for information on available sires and the number of progeny per sire for measurement, indicating that further details will be requested if the EOI is successful and the final sire list will be approved in consultation with project staff. It includes sections for on-farm trait recording, specifying which traits have been recorded on the ewes proposed for measurement and any other recorded traits, as well as whether all data has been submitted to Sheep Genetics. Furthermore, it details requirements for on-farm facilities, including infrastructure such as power, clean water, and user-friendly sheep yards, and work area conditions like shade, a level work surface, and appropriate flooring (concrete or grated). The document also inquires about previous involvement in research. A crucial certification section requires the Livestock Owner/Manager to confirm the accuracy of the information provided, adherence to statutory, professional, and ethical standards, declaration of intellectual property interests, and compliance with privacy requirements regarding personal information disclosed to MLA (Meat & Livestock Australia). It concludes with fields for Name, Title, Signature, and Date.
