Low methane animals
</p>
<p>
<strong>Aim:</strong>&nbsp;Identify markers of low methane emitting sheep and cattle and incorporate into breeding indices.

<p class="h5">
What does success look like?
</p>
<p>
Farmers selecting for low GHG traits.
</p>
<p class="h5">
How will&nbsp;we get there?
</p>
<ol>
	<li>Confirm low GHG is a viable trait for sheep</li>
	<li>Release breeding values for sheep</li>
	<li>Apply learnings from sheep research to cattle</li>
	<li>Release breeding values for cattle</li>
</ol>
<p class="h5">
Who&#39;s input is needed?
</p>
<p>
Science is needed to identify markers and methods of low methane emitting animals, and test for heritability, consistency and productivity effects including disease resistance.
</p>
<p>
Commercial input it needed to incorporate low GHG traits into New Zealand sheep, cattle and&nbsp;deer genetic selection systems (BLGNZ, NZAEL, DEERSelect).&nbsp;
