Objective 1.2: Low methane producing animals
NZAGRC and PGgRc jointly supported programme
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 feasible, several technologies will be required for industry adoption. This Objective is investigating these additional factors.
