Dietary Impacts on Carbon, Manure, and Methane
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of society, including the agriculture sector, is a concern for all. The agriculture sector contributes 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions, behind transportation, electricity, industry, and commercial and residential sources. Greenhouse gas emissions from the barn comes mainly from enteric (rumen) fermentation with other sources from soils and manure.
In this video Regional Dairy Educators Tina Kohlman and Aerica Bjurstrom shared with participants potential feeding strategies to increase feed efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the dairy cow.
