Methane: Could new feed additives solve the conundrum

June 10, 2021 11:40 am The climate change submission to government by Ireland’s Beef Plan Movement (BPM) highlights the use of new feed additives as a key response by ruminant farmers to challenges posed by methane production. According to the members of BPM’s Environmental Committee, a number of these additives, when incorporated into feed, can reduce a ruminant animal’s methane emissions by 15-20%. According to a BPM spokesperson, given that a cow produces 150kg of methane per annum, on average, using these additives could reduce emissions of methane by over 27,000t for our national suckler-cow herd alone. “When fattening cattle are included from beef-finishing herds, this figure rises to over 60,000t.”
