The UK Dairy Carbon Network is working with over 50 UK dairy farms to implement and assess practical, farm-ready solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Led by AFBI and funded by DEFRA, the project is supported by a UK-wide consortium of leading research and industry partners.

Rethinking cutting dates and silage quality has helped Edward Lister at Sibbersfield Lane Farm cut concentrate use from 0.4kg to 0.3kg per litre of milk. This shift has improved forage quality and feed efficiency, reducing costs and carbon footprint.
