MPI seeks to procure a research project to support and extend the work of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases, specifically its Livestock Research Group.
The project title is: Do animals selected for reduced feed intake produce less methane?
The expected outcomes of the research programme include a NZ GRA developed measurement system suitable for cattle genetic/genomic studies validated on animals selected for a trait that would be expected to result in contrasting methane emissions and data on the potential for selection for lowered intake to reduce methane emissions from animals representative of the main dairy breeds used in the New Zealand dairy industry.
