Innovations to reduce methane emissions in ruminants

Start Date: 01/10/2023
End Date: 01/09/2028

Description

Applied research and technology validation project to reduce by 10% the emission intensity (g CO2e/kg of meat) in pasture-based cattle production systems in Latin America. It develops three innovations: sensors to monitor ingestive behavior and quantify enteric methane, a feed additive to mitigate methane emissions, and fecal NIRS spectroscopy to estimate intake and digestibility. It includes knowledge transfer and strengthening of technical-scientific capacities.
