Reduced methane cattle burps among €37.5m Agri projects
Using artificial intelligence (AI) for disease control, monitoring the burps of cattle to reduce methane emissions and replacing plastic packaging with a grain-based alternative were among the innovat...
One project investigating impacts of feed additives on reducing methane emissions from the burps of beef cattle over their lifetime was allocated almost €1.5 million.
The research will look at ways of reducing methane emissions in Irish beef systems through strategic use of feed additives and early-life interventions.
The vast majority of methane - a greenhouse gas - released by cattle during digestion is by belching, rather than flatulance.
