Objective 1.2: Low methane producing animals
Leader: John McEwan (AgResearch) 
NZAGRC funding: April 2010 - June 2014
This work aligns with an existing PGgRc project which is accurately measuring methane emissions from sheep with the aim of breeding animals for reduced emissions in the future. If this is proven to be scientifically possible, several technologies will be required for industry adoption. This Objective is investigating three of these additional factors. 


Jointly supported by the NZAGRC and PGgRc.
