INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVE LIFETIME OF COWS

The carbon footprint of milk is determined by the total amount of emissions produced by a cow divided by the milk it has produced. Focusing on cow longevity will increase the total amount of life time yield and therefore reducing the CO2e/kg of milk.

OPTIMISING MILK OUTPUT THROUGH NUTRITION

Achieving optimal milk production either as liquid or kg’s of milk solids lowers cost of production by maximising milk income. Maximising KG’s of milk sold per cow minimises co2e/KG of milk produced.

Introducing novel feed ingredients to reduce methane emissions.

RUMITECH

It works by altering which rumen bugs thrive, resulting in less bugs which produce methane and more bugs which digest fibre, giving the animal more energy out of the feed. • Improved FCR and average feed efficiency improvements of 5.5% • Reduced enteric methane emissions in dairy by 17.7% per litre of milk.
