<p>Although New Zealand livestock is primarily&nbsp;based on the utilisation of high quality fresh&nbsp;temperate forages in managed grazing systems<br />a wide variety of other food sources are used including&nbsp;grass silage, brassicas, cereals and root crops, maize silage, palm kernel extract (PKE), and&nbsp;maize and barley grain.</p>
<p>This publication summarises the work completed in New Zealand to understand&nbsp;the emissions of various feeds used in New Zealand agriculture.</p>
<p>The reserach findings cover the impact of pasture quality on emissions, how manipulation of sugars and fats impact emissions, and then specific findings of&nbsp;emissions from brassicas, fodder beet,&nbsp;white clover, chicory, silage,&nbsp;PKE and maize grain.</p>
