Weekly Grill podcast host Kerry Lonergan turns up the heat on two of Australia's leading meat scientists, Prof Graham Gardiner and Dr Peter McGilchrist - who have headed Australia's recent research into objective carcase measurement. The ground-breaking ALMTech project driving advances in objective measurement for carcase yield and quality officially came to a close on 30 June.

So what's been achieved? What remains to be done? Is there a risk of the work stalling, now that funding for the research under ALMTech has come to a close? Why does the industry even need objective measurement of beef and lamb carcases?

These and other questions are covered by Dr McGilchrist and Prof Gardiner, in this detailed four-way discussion with Weekly Grill editor Kerry Lonergan and Beef Central's Jon Condon
