“Each €10 gain in EBI = 61kg less CO2 eq/lactation” - Andrew Cromie at the #ISGC20 conference ICBF CIT is now MTU - Munster Technological University UCD School Ag & Food Teagasc WIT-RESEARCH


All set up here in Teagasc Moorepark to talk about beef carbon efficiency and genetics as part of Agri Aware #FarmWalk2020 GreenBreed ICBF CIT is now MTU - Munster Technological University @AgBio_CIT


Some members of GreenBreed at Teagasc Moorepark got involved with the Agri Aware #FarmWalk2020 and presented some insights into breeding environmentally efficient beef and dairy cattle to secondary school students ICBF CIT is now MTU - Munster Technological University WIT-RESEARCH UCD School Ag & Food

Minister Charlie McConalogue has launched a National Climate & Air Roadmap for the agriculture sector ‘Ag Climatise’ sets an ambitious vision for a ‘climate neutral agriculture sector by 2050’ and includes 29 actions aimed at reducing environmental footprint 📍gov.ie/en/press-relea…


Check out RTE’s report on the Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine ‘Ag-climatise’ Roadmap which features the GreenBreed cattle methane measurement at ICBF. Animal breeding is one of the key actions to reduce farm environmental emissions

A recently published study carried out by @edeloconner15 in the TeagascSheep team and funded by @GrassToGas and GreenBreed confirms an optimal time of 50 min to measure gaseous emissions of sheep in portable accumulation chambers. dx.doi.org/10.1093/jas/sk… Sheep Ireland 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
