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.
Good calf management delivers lifelong benefits. By giving calves the best start, farmers can improve lifetime performance, reduce losses and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per litre of milk.
Disease prevention is not just about treating sick calves. By reducing disease challenge in the calf environment, farmers can improve growth, future productivity, make better use of resources and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
More than 200 practical measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are now underway on farms involved in the UK Dairy Carbon Network (UK-DCN) project.
Breeding, grassland management and feeding decisions were among the practical areas explored at a recent event on September 3rd hosted by dairy farmer Caryn Webster at Browns Bay, County Antrim, as part of the UK Dairy Carbon Network (UK-DCN).
