Technology enables on-pasture monitoring of methane emissions at the Ontario Beef Research Centre

U of G researcher Dr. Katie Wood and masters student Katie Kroeze are on the Beef at Guelph research team that uses GreenFeed pasture-based enteric methane monitoring equipment. The technology can be used in the field, keeping cows comfortable and in a familiar situation, which increases the likelihood that research results will be applicable to real-life beef barn or pasture situations.

A recent Farmtario article delves into Wood's use of GreenFeed equipment in determining the link between feed efficiency and enteric methane emissions. Feed-efficient cattle reduce farmer costs, and lower enteric methane can help with greenhouse gas emission issues, creating a win-win for farmers and the environment.
