Identify, evaluate, test market and develop species, varieties, processes or products with prospects of commercial viability. Develop integrated production, harvesting, processing and marketing systems. In 1999-2000 the Corporation funded specific projects for fifteen of these industries. Other individual projects covered a broad spectrum of species and their products. Funding continues on the commercialisation of native and feral animal products where enhancement of the environment and biodiversity are not threatened.
Specific projects are in progress for the kangaroo, emu, crocodile and camel industries.
Other projects continue in buffalo, dairy goats and milking sheep. Released a number of reports on various aspects of camel meat production, processing and marketing. Three documents were published concerned with the handling of camels and meat trading language and meat specification. A pre-feasibility study of a potential camel industry in WA indicates opportunity. Completed an analysis of the feasibility of farming rabbits now that the supply of wild rabbits has been greatly reduced due to the control program using the calicivirus.
