Major milestone achieved for measuring methane and feed intake from free-grazing pastoral cattle in East Africa

This blog documents the first successful direct measurement of enteric methane emissions and feed intake from free-grazing pastoral cattle under real rangeland conditions in East Africa. By adapting internationally recognised measurement approaches to extensive grazing systems, the work generates re...

description This blog documents the first successful direct measurement of enteric methane emissions and feed intake from free-grazing pastoral cattle under real rangeland conditions in East Africa. By adapting internationally recognised measurement approaches to extensive grazing systems, the work generates region-specific data needed to improve national greenhouse gas inventories and to design mitigation strategies that are relevant for pastoral livestock systems.
