Objective

Recommendations for the design of low-emission feed rations without compromising performance and animal health

Methodology

• Feed ration design for dairy cows that varies in terms of energy and nutrient concentration, including the use of feeds produced in a resource-efficient manner
• Animal-specific recording of methane emissions and animal health / animal welfare with the help of the use of various sensors
• Genotyping of the experimental animals to take into account animal genetic influences

Climate effect under consideration

Reduced emissions from ruminal digestion in dairy cows
