Australian Eggs invests in research projects to improve the sustainability of the egg industry. Our research, development and extension (RD&E) work program focuses on the needs identified and prioritised by the industry and there are rigorous processes in place to ensure each research project is relevant to egg farmers.
To generate focused research, Australian Eggs works with industry to build a clearer understanding of the needs of farmers, identifies research groups with the skills to address the issues, and develops targeted research project ideas that have clear pathways to on-farm adoption.
