Armidale Animal Breeding Trust

The Trust provides a funding opportunity for postgraduate students and young researchers to visit the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production (WCGALP), the Conference of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) or other international scientific conferences related to animal breeding and genetics.

The AABT was established in 2002 after a gift was received from the organising committee of the 6th WCGALP, which was held in Armidale in 1998.


The objectives of the trust are

  • to support the pursuit of excellence in animal breeding research and technology in Armidale and to enhance Armidale's reputation as a centre of excellence for animal breeding research by assisting the development of young researchers
  • to provide scholarships and benefits for beneficiaries under this deed.
