Australian Society of Animal Production
The Australian Society of Animal Production (ASAP) was formed in 1954 to give scientists working on farm animals a place to share results, and for decades its biennial conference was where much Australian livestock research was first reported. Producers took part from the start, which is part of why so many of these papers read as practical as they do.
In 2018 the society was relaunched as the Australian Association of Animal Sciences. The papers below are the society's conference proceedings as the old Livestock Library listed them.
