Australia's Largest Independent Evaluation of Merino Genetics

The Australian Merino Production Trial (AMPT) is Australia's leading independent sheep benchmarking project, providing Merino producers with trusted data to improve breeding, management and profitability.

 

By evaluating genetics under commercial production systems, the AMPT measures key traits including wool quality, growth, carcase performance and eating quality.

​

Bringing together producers, researchers and industry leaders from across Australia, the trial delivers practical insights that drive informed decision-making, accelerate genetic progress and strengthen the future of the Australian sheep industry.
