Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

项目背景

该项目将开发和评估一种新的放牧牲畜抗产甲烷补充剂的输送机制。活性剂的受控瘤胃内释放将提供持续的缓释剂量，从而消除了牲畜每日饮食剂量的需要。它将涉及牛类双手工作、排放测量，并包括微生物组采样、生物信息学和统计分析。将进行各个生命阶段的评估，以确定最佳的补充方案，以实现澳大利亚牛肉行业最大程度的减排。

项目入读好处

奖学金包括：

每年免税生活津贴 32,192 澳币（2023 年税率）

您所支付的费用包含单一海外学生健康保险（OSHC）。

Description

This project will develop and evaluate a novel delivery mechanism for anti-methanogenic supplements in grazing livestock. The controlled intra-ruminal release of active-agents will provide a sustained slow-release dose removing the requirement for daily dietary dosing of livestock.

It will involve both hands on work with cattle, measurement of emissions, and will include sampling of microbiome, bioinformatics and statistical analysis. Assessment at various life stages will be carried out to determine the optimal supplementation protocol to achieve maximum emissions reductions for the Australian beef industry.

Benefits

The scholarship includes:

Living stipend of $32,192 per annum tax free (2023 rate), indexed annually

Your tuition fees covered single overseas student health cover (OSHC).

Selection criteria

We take into account your

previous academic record

publication record

honours and awards

employment history.

A working knowledge of ruminant nutrition would be beneficial.

You'll demonstrate academic achievement in the field(s) of biology or agriculture and the potential for scholastic success.

A background or knowledge of methane mitigation or the Australian Beef Industry is highly desirable.
