  • Intensive Livestock Environmental R&D and Technology Transfer

Robyn Tucker has undertaken environmental research and development for Australian Pork Limited (APL) for the pig industry, and for Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) for the beef feedlot sector.  Robyn’s strong contacts with the pig and feedlot  industries provide a good practical basis to this research. 

Robyn has also co-authored numerous intensive livestock guidelines, technotes and manuals for APL, MLA and Victorian Department of Environment and Primary Industries.
