“The thought behind [this study] is that perhaps not every individual in the herd will need to be fed a feed supplement to reduce methane emissions.” – Katie Wood, University of Guelph.

On-pasture feed efficiency can reduce cattle emissions

University of Guelph uses unique technology to measure feed efficiency and enteric methane emissions

Feeding canola oil to beef cows could be one way to reduce their enteric methane emissions and increase feed efficiency. That’s among the takeaways from work at the University of Guelph’s Elora Research Station. Researchers there have adopted unique technology to investigate the link between feed efficiency and enteric methane emissions. Why it matters: Feed-efficient
