Current Projects

  • Feed into Lamb (FIL): an investigation of metabolisable energy requirements and environmental footprint of sheep toward developing a robust energy feeding system for sustainable sheep production
  • Defining optimal pasture composition and its relationship with management factors in order to maximise dairy and beef productivity, whilst minimising nitrous oxide emissions (urine N output), methane emissions and product taints
  • Improving feed efficiency and reducing methane emissions from dairy cows using milk Mid-infrared spectroscopy to support "green Alberta milk"
  • Methagene – Large scale methane measurements on individual ruminants for genetic evaluations – an EU COST project
