Interesting article about low methane breeding cattle. Key points!! 👆Livestock account for 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Methane is the second-biggest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. 👆Methane emissions from Canadian dairy cows vary widely, from 250 to 750 grams per day. 👆Having genomic information and matching those up and creating almost a telephone book to say, 'this animal has these genes and produces this much methane.' 👆New Zealand will begin taxing farmers for methane from cattle in 2025. 👆Genetic change is permanent and cumulative across future generations so it can add up to substantive reductions .This is certainly not the only tool dairy producers can use to reduce methane on-farm, but it may be the simplest and lowest-cost approach. 👆Low methane emitting cattle can cause digestion problems is yet to be evaluated. #methaneemissions #dairybreeding

House-Fly Infestations: Traditional Poultry Farming practices can lead to severe house-fly infestations, posing health risks to both humans and animals. By harnessing the natural abilities of BSF Larvae, SuprEnviro Farms Private Limited addresses significant environmental challenges posed by Poultry Farming, including house-fly infestations, foul odors and ammonia emissions, while simultaneously converting Poultry Litter into valuable Organic Fertilizer. #housefly #pollution #sustainable #poultry #organic

Feed animals differently = feed an extra billion people? In the UK the amount of wheat harvested that is used to feed animals is the equivalent of 10.7 billion loaves of bread. A 2013 study from researchers at the University of Minnesota calculated that "growing food exclusively for direct human consumption could, in principle, increase available food calories by as much as 70%, which could feed an additional 4 billion people." However, even with existing livestock farming and aquaculture output, changing the way in which animals are fed can have a big impact. In a Perspective for The Sustainable Investor I discuss research from Aalto University in Finland who propose replacing livestock and aquaculture feed that could be used for human consumption with food system by-products and residues. The changes proposed could redirect 10% to 26% of total cereal production and approximately 11% of current seafood supply to human use. This would represent as much as 15% of current food supply protein content and up to 13% of caloric content. That could free up enough food to feed an additional one billion people. That is the theory. Execution will require technological innovation and coordination with the right incentives for farmers and other stakeholders. Many larger investible companies rely on our agricultural supply chains (think food producers and supermarkets for instance), so it’s a big long-term issue all investors should be considering. Recent food supply disruption and price inflation will bring it more to the fore. #sustainability #innovation #investing

With livestock causing 15% of GHG emissions, this could be a significant advance, especially if paired with measures to taper red meat consumption. --- "The arrival of commercially available #genetics to produce dairy cattle that emit less #methane could help reduce one of the biggest sources of the potent greenhouse gas, scientists and cattle industry experts say. #Burps are the top source of methane emissions from cattle. Semex, the #genetics company that sold Loewith the semen, said adoption of the low-methane trait could reduce methane emissions from Canada’s dairy herd by 1.5 per cent annually, and up to 20 per cent-30 per cent by 2050." https://lnkd.in/g8z2bGsM

The poultry industry offers a compelling solution for environmentally conscious protein production. Compared to traditional livestock, chickens boast a significantly lower greenhouse gas footprint per kilogram of meat produced. Here's why poultry farming stands out: 🐣Efficient Feed Conversion: Chickens require less feed to reach maturity, resulting in a reduced environmental impact. ✅Sustainable Manure Management: Poultry manure can be transformed into valuable fertilizer through proper management, minimizing reliance on synthetic options. By embracing sustainability practices and adopting innovative technologies, the poultry industry plays a critical role in meeting the rising global demand for protein while mitigating its environmental impact.
