Recap: NZAGRC and Teagasc on breeding low methane emitting animals

A recent webinar highlighted the research ongoing to investigate the potential of breeding for low emissions animals as a methane mitigation approach in both Ireland and New Zealand.

The webinar, available to view below, titled: ‘Breeding for low methane emitting animals – what’s possible?’ highlighted cutting-edge research and showcased collaborative efforts between the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC) and Teagasc under the New Zealand - Ireland Joint Research call on Agriculture and Climate Change. The latter is a joint government initiative aimed at driving down agricultural emissions, enhancing the value of primary products, and addressing common challenges in the agri-food sectors of both countries.

The webinar featured speakers from New Zealand, Suzanne Rowe and Pete Amer; and from Ireland, Donagh Berry.
