<p class="h2">Low methane animals (partnered with PGgRc)</p>
<p><strong>Aim:</strong>&nbsp;Identify markers of low methane emitting sheep and cattle and incorporate into breeding indices.</p>
<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">What 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;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Aim: </strong>Develop feeds and feeding strategies that results in reduced GHG emissions from livestock</p>
<p class="h5">What does success look like?</p>
<p>Low GHG feeds and strategies adopted on farm.</p>
<p class="h5">How will&nbsp;we get there?</p>
<ol>
<li>Confirm that ruminant feeds can provide lower GHG options</li>
<li>Incorporate feed options into <strong>New Zealand's Greenhouse Gas Inventory</strong></li>
<li>Integrate feed options into New Zealand farm systems.</li>
</ol>
<p class="h5">What input is needed?</p>
<p>Science is needed to develop fundamental science, gathering evidence for incorporation into <strong>New Zealand's Greenhouse Gas Inventory</strong></p>
<p>Commercial input it needed to incorporate low GHG feeds ito New Zealand farming practice and have the impact reflected in <strong>New Zealand's Greenhouse Gas Inventory.</strong></p>
<p>Commercial input may also be needed if a specific plant factor is identified to partner with plant breeding companies to have that factor incorporated into forage.&nbsp;</p>
