Further work is being undertaken using SLMACC funding from MAF to confirm these initial findings prior to the model being promoted and released.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Objective \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Leader \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Timeframe \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.1 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Feeding Microalgae\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr David Pacheco\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.2 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Low Methane producing animals\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			John McEwan\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.3 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Genomic identification of universal targets for methanogen inhibition\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Sinead Leahy\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.4 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Enhanced discovery of methanogen \r\n			- specific inhibitors\r\n			Dr Ron Ronimus\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.5 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Expression of vaccine target proteins\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Bryce Buddle\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.6 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Identifying alternative hydrogen utilisers\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Gemma\r\n			Henderson\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.7 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Methane capture and utilisation from Dairy effluent\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Rupert Craggs\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPrincipal Investigators \r\n\r\n\r\nDr Graeme Attwood, AgResearch\r\nDr Peter Janssen, AgResearch \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLinkages \r\n\r\n\r\nAnimalCHANGE \r\nCSIRO Livestock Industries \r\nDPI Queensland  \r\nGlobal Research Alliance \r\nLandcare Research\r\nNIWA\r\nPGgRc\r\nScottish Agricultural College\r\nSLMACC\r\nUS Joint Genome Initative\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStories \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Mitigation of methane NZAGRC \r\n			Release Newsletter - February 2012\r\n						\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			From tiny bottles to grazing \r\n			\r\n			sheep and cows\r\n			Release Newsletter - August 2011\r\n		\r\n		\r\n						\r\n			The methane-free rumen - \r\n			the solution to all problems\r\n			Release Newsletter - April 2011\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			 \r\n			\r\n			Technology transfer could help \r\n			reduce methane emissions \r\n			from \r\n			animal waste storage\r\n			\r\n			Release Newsletter - December 2011', 'a28ec824922a0a06904df4fde768a31c', 40, 'published', 2, '2012-03-22 04:09:29', NULL, '2012-03-22 04:09:29'),

(683, '<div align=\"left\">\r\nThe NZAGRC&#39;s research programme is designed specifically to build on existing well-targeted research funded by the PGgRc and SLMACC (MAF) to advance the discovery of cost effective solutions. Since 97% of all agricultural methane emissions arise from enteric fermentation, the research concentrates almost exclusively on this sector. \r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"h5\" align=\"left\">\r\nGoals &amp; Objectives \r\n</div>\r\n<p>\r\nThe underlying aim of the NZAGRC CH<sub>4</sub> programme is to reduce emissions by manipulating the processes responsible for producing methane. This essentially involves a two pronged approach; directly manipulating the activities of methanogens through such things as small molecule inhibitors or vaccines and indirectly manipulating the activities of methanogens through feeding and changes in animal phenotype. The NZAGRC investment in these areas is highly aligned with existing programmes already being funded by the PGgRc and/or PGgRc/MAF. \r\n</p>\r\n<p align=\"left\">\r\nA further small programme has concentrated on the development and validation of a model that can be used by farmers to estimate the economics of installing methane bio-digesters. The model suggests that the installation of bio-digesters on farms having as few as 400 cows can be economic, with a payback period on the investment of 3-5 years. Further work is being undertaken using SLMACC funding from MAF to confirm these initial findings prior to the model being promoted and released.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n</p>\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" width=\"487\" style=\"height: 0px\">\r\n	<tbody>\r\n		<tr>\r\n			<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" style=\"width: 0px;

Since 97% of all agricultural methane emissions arise from enteric fermentation, the research concentrates almost exclusively on this sector. \r\n\r\n\r\nGoals & Objectives \r\n\r\n\r\nThe underlying aim of the NZAGRC CH4 programme is to reduce emissions by manipulating the processes responsible for producing methane. This essentially involves a two pronged approach; directly manipulating the activities of methanogens through such things as small molecule inhibitors or vaccines and indirectly manipulating the activities of methanogens through feeding and changes in animal phenotype. The NZAGRC investment in these areas is highly aligned with existing programmes already being funded by the PGgRc and/or PGgRc/MAF. \r\n\r\n\r\nA further small programme has concentrated on the development and validation of a model that can be used by farmers to estimate the economics of installing methane bio-digesters. The model suggests that the installation of bio-digesters on farms having as few as 400 cows can be economic, with a payback period on the investment of 3-5 years. Further work is being undertaken using SLMACC funding from MAF to confirm these initial findings prior to the model being promoted and released.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Objective \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Leader \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Timeframe \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.1 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Feeding Microalgae\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr David Pacheco \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 11 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.2 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Low Methane producing animals\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			John McEwan \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.3 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Genomic identification of universal targets for methanogen inhibition \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Sinead Leahy \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Dec 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.4 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Enhanced discovery of methanogen \r\n			- specific inhibitors\r\n			Dr Ron Ronimus\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.5 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Expression of vaccine target proteins \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Bryce Buddle\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.6 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Identifying alternative hydrogen utilisers \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Gemma\r\n			Henderson \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Dec 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.7 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Methane capture and utilisation from Dairy effluent \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Rupert Craggs\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 11 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPrincipal Investigators \r\n\r\n\r\nDr Graeme Attwood, AgResearch\r\nDr Peter Janssen, AgResearch \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStories \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Mitigation of methane NZAGRC \r\n			Release Newsletter - February 2012 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			From tiny bottles to grazing \r\n			sheep and cows\r\n			Release Newsletter - August 2011\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			The methane-free rumen - \r\n			the solution to all problems\r\n			Release Newsletter - April 2011 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Technology transfer could help \r\n			reduce methane emissions from \r\n			animal waste storage \r\n			Release Newsletter - December 2011   \r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLinkages \r\n\r\n\r\nAnimalCHANGE \r\nCSIRO Livestock Industries \r\nDPI Queensland  \r\nGlobal Research Alliance \r\nLandcare Research\r\nNIWA\r\nPGgRc\r\nScottish Agricultural College\r\nSLMACC\r\nUS Joint Genome Initative', '81d2e1de638669e78f25b42786e6e66a', 40, 'published', 4, '2012-03-25 20:42:41', NULL, '2012-03-25 20:42:41'),

This work builds on an existing PGgRc programme and will identify candidate alternative hydrogen utilisers from a range of different rumen samples.', '61294cf37e84d11e2dc4f9d55aeb6a14', 83, 'published', 4, '2012-03-25 20:46:56', NULL, '2012-03-25 20:46:56'),

However, realising this potential is technically challenging, especially when soil carbon stocks are already high as they are in New Zealand. The NZAGRC&#39;s programme has three distinct components (1) assessing the potential to store carbon across the range of physical and climatic conditions found in New Zealand, (2) devising management practises that can increase the long term soil carbon store and (3) methods for verifying that soil carbon stocks have been changed.\r\n\r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Objective \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Leader \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Timeframe \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			3.1 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Limits of soil carbon storage in New Zealand soils \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Mike Beare \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 12 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			3.2 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Quantifying the carbon currently stored in New Zealand soils \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Allan Hewitt \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 12 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			3.3 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Process-based modelling of drivers of soil carbon change \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Prof Tony Parsons \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			3.4 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Manipulation of carbon inputs, incorporation and retention to protect and enhance soil carbon \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr David Whitehead \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			3.5 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Improved soil carbon measurements \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Prof Frank Kelliher \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\nPrincipal Investigators  \r\n\r\n\r\nProfessor Frank Kelliher, AgResearch\r\nDr David Whitehead, Landcare Research  \r\n\r\n\r\nStories \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Prospects for manipulating \r\n			soil carbon\r\n			Release Newsletter - February 2012 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Investigating the scope for \r\n			increasing soil carbon levels \r\n			in New Zealand \r\n			Release Newsletter - November 2011 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Is biochar a possible solution for \r\n			the mitigation of pastoral GHG \r\n			emissions?\r\n			Release Newsletter - August 2011 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Can we increase soil carbon \r\n			in dairy systems?\r\n			Release Newsletter - December 2010 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\r\nLinkages \r\n\r\n\r\nAgMardt\r\nAgResearch\r\nAgriculture & AgriFood, Canada\r\nColorado State University, USA\r\nCSIRO Land & Water, Australia\r\nLandcare Research\r\nLincoln University\r\nMassey University\r\nNew South Wales DPI, Australia\r\nPlant & Food Research\r\nScion\r\nUniversity of California, Davis, USA\r\nWaikato University', '5f3de43ffc8b41938d7ef7763a3fab6b', 63, 'published', 4, '2012-03-25 20:50:20', NULL, '2012-03-25 20:50:20'),

This essentially involves a two pronged approach; directly manipulating the activities of methanogens through such things as small molecule inhibitors or vaccines and indirectly manipulating the activities of methanogens through feeding and changes in animal phenotype.

Since 97% of all agricultural methane emissions arise from enteric fermentation, the research concentrates almost exclusively on this sector.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGoals & Objectives\r\n\r\n\r\nThe underlying aim of the NZAGRC CH4 programme is to reduce emissions by manipulating the processes responsible for producing methane. This essentially involves a two pronged approach; directly manipulating the activities of methanogens through such things as small molecule inhibitors or vaccines and indirectly manipulating the activities of methanogens through feeding and changes in animal phenotype. The NZAGRC investment in these areas is highly aligned with existing programmes already being funded by the PGgRc and/or PGgRc/MAF. \r\n\r\n\r\nA further small programme has concentrated on the development and validation of a model that can be used by farmers to estimate the economics of installing methane bio-digesters. The model suggests that the installation of bio-digesters on farms having as few as 400 cows can be economic, with a payback period on the investment of 3-5 years. Further work is being undertaken using SLMACC funding from MAF to confirm these initial findings prior to the model being promoted and released.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Objective \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Leader \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Timeframe \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.1 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Feeding Microalgae\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr David Pacheco \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 11 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.2 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Low Methane producing animals\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			John McEwan \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.3 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Genomic identification of universal targets for methanogen inhibition \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Sinead Leahy \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Dec 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.4 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Enhanced discovery of methanogen \r\n			- specific inhibitors\r\n			Dr Ron Ronimus\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.5 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Expression of vaccine target proteins \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Bryce Buddle\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 13 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.6 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Identifying alternative hydrogen utilisers \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Gemma\r\n			Henderson \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Dec 14 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			1.7 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Methane capture and utilisation from Dairy effluent \r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Dr Rupert Craggs\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			Apr 10 - Jun 11 \r\n			\r\n			\r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPrincipal Investigators \r\n\r\n\r\nDr Graeme Attwood, AgResearch\r\nDr Peter Janssen, AgResearch \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nStories \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n	\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Mitigation of methane NZAGRC \r\n			Release Newsletter - February 2012 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			From tiny bottles to grazing \r\n			sheep and cows\r\n			Release Newsletter - August 2011\r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			The methane-free rumen - \r\n			the solution to all problems\r\n			Release Newsletter - April 2011 \r\n		\r\n		\r\n			\r\n			Technology transfer could help \r\n			reduce methane emissions from \r\n			animal waste storage \r\n			Release Newsletter - December 2011   \r\n		\r\n	\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLinkages \r\n\r\n\r\nAnimalCHANGE \r\nCSIRO Livestock Industries \r\nDPI Queensland  \r\nGlobal Research Alliance \r\nLandcare Research\r\nNIWA\r\nPGgRc\r\nScottish Agricultural College\r\nSLMACC\r\nUS Joint Genome Initative', '4cfd79b962b054499e6a98bbaeeed86f', 40, 'published', 2, '2012-03-27 23:48:46', NULL, '2012-03-27 23:48:46');
