Northern Ireland’s first farm trials into the potential of seaweed to reduce emissions in dairy herds are set to begin in October,
Agriland can reveal.
The study will examine the effect of seaweed on rumen fermentation and whether its inclusion can suppress methane emissions as a byproduct.
A project investigating the effects of feeding seaweed to sheep is also
set to begin in the Republic next month.
It’s part of the €2 million Seasolution project led by Teagasc and carried out in collaboration with Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI), the Institute of Technology Sligo, as well as institutions in Norway, Sweden, Germany and Canada.
