Project Details
Description
Genus and SRUC have carried out ground-breaking research on beef cattle
showing the potential of ruminal microbiome-driven breeding to mitigate methane
emissions with an expected reduction of up to 17% per generation (MartínezÁlvaro
et al., 2022) and improvement of feed conversion ratio by up to 15% per
generation. The overall innovation is to optimise this highly promising new breeding strategy to cost-effectively mitigate CH4 emissions and improve FCR.
