Ag Emissions Centre

The Ag Emissions Centre is actively engaged in research aimed at understanding and mitigating the environmental impact of dairy farming, particularly through the study of methane emissions. This organization has recently participated in a pivotal study that investigated the hereditary nature of low methane emission traits in cattle.

Research and Findings

The study conducted by the Ag Emissions Centre revealed that the low methane emission traits observed in bulls do not necessarily pass down to their lactating daughters. This finding has significant implications for breeding programs aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy farming.

Public Presentation

The results of this study were presented at the Agricultural Climate Change conference held in Wellington, highlighting the Centre's commitment to addressing climate change through scientific research and collaboration.
