Collaborative research efforts to quantify methane emissions
To support farmers in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we’ve teamed up with Irish researchers to quantify methane emissions from dairy cows in pasture-based systems. This collaborative research programme delves into the complexities of methane emissions from grazing cows, aiming to develop more precise emission factors and mitigation strategies for our unique pasture-based systems.
