Introduction
Grass seeds are a major issue for the Australian sheep meat industry.
The purpose of this program is to train staff in meat processing plants to assess and score grass seed contamination.
This scoring system will enable plants to inform the producer the extent of their grass seed problem in a uniform way.
Currently many producers do not know the extent of their grass seed problem. Reducing grass seed contamination increases profits for both parties and improves animal welfare outcomes on farm.
