Michael Friend

Agricultural scientist with expertise in livestock production, in particular sheep production and ruminant nutrition. I am committed to a sustainable (economically and environmentally) extensive livestock industry in Australia and globally, as we seek to use pasture resources to generate animal products for growing world demand. I am also committed to training the next generation of agricultural scientists by attracting and retaining the best students to meet the skills shortage. I have extensive experience in applied research, having secured and managed over $3m AUD in research grants from both rural development corporations and listed companies, for projects which have delivered significant outcomes to industry. https://au.linkedin.com/in/michael-friend-544b0561
