Liberal National Party members in Queensland have urged the federal government to investigate how a temporary ban on live cattle exports has affected drought stricken farmers.

Officer holders presented an urgent motion at the state's party meeting at Toowoomba on Sunday, calling for the Abbott government to assess how the ban has financially burdened graziers.

The motion was presented four days after Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced a $320 million package for drought-hit farmers in Queensland and NSW, including increased access to a concessional loan scheme worth $280 million.

Graziers welcomed the additional help after a long struggle with a range of issues, including the severe drought and effects of the temporary live export ban.
