<p>The NZAGRC led the organisation of two technical workshops recently:</p>
<p>(1) Hosted by Thailand&rsquo;s Department of Livestock Development (DLD), a workshop &lsquo;Improving Thailand&rsquo;s GHG inventory for nitrous oxide emissions from manure management.&rsquo; was held in Bangkok in March 2018.</p>
<p>The workshop provided participants with a better understanding of the pathways of nitrogen (N) loss in manure management systems (in particular direct and indirect losses) and on the development and improvement of manure management in the national livestock inventory methodology in Thailand.</p>
<p>(2) The second workshop was hosted by the Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Food Security (ITAFoS), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and involved participants from several South-East Asian countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Philippines) who came together to learn about the design, construction and use of low cost respiration chambers for small ruminant studies.</p>
