Researchers at the North Wyke Farm Platform in Devon, a Rothamsted Research facility, have developed a simplified method to measure grass growth that they say doesn’t compromise the quality of data needed in herd management. The work...
Research led by Rothamsted shows that management can reduce the environmental impact of UK grass-based beef cattle production by up to 26%. But cutting herd numbers actually increased emissions. The scientists say that in the UK,...
Researchers have found that calculating individual livestock greenhouse gas emission figures and then aggregating the information can reduce standardised output levels compared to applying average herd emission scores. This method also identifies the more efficient...
