Study Rationale

Lamb mortality is a substantial problem for wool producers. Mortality is highest in periods of bad weather, such as severe cold snaps. It is unclear whether mortality is exacerbated by sheep behaviour, specifically if and how they access shelter during bad weather. Using GPS tracking collars and high-precision weather monitoring, shelter utilisation in bad weather can be measured. From this, alternative shelter designs and methods for attracting sheep to shelter may be developed, reducing lamb mortality.
