The science behind products designed to reduce methane

After the usual milk market report from Chris Walkland, Will and Ben are joined by Kite Senior Consultant Vicky Hicks and Managing Partner David Levick to follow on from last week and discuss greenhouse gas emissions. With Ruminants hitting the headlines recently, Vicky and David discuss why it’s important to consider methane alongside carbon dioxide, looking at the science behind the products and feed additives being promoted to reduce methane or improve feed efficiency. They also outline what they see as the industry’s biggest challenges and opportunities when it comes to reducing methane emissions and how these could help the dairy industry to become the heroes in the climate change story.
