Calculating Dairy Methane Emissions Reductions!! The California Air Resources Board (CARB) held a public workshop in late August about CARB’s progress in compiling California-specific dairy activity data and evaluating the dairy sector emissions trends. “Community advocates and residents have raised concerns about the impacts of dairies and dairy digesters on adjacent communities through both public comments and through rulemaking petitions submitted to CARB,” explained the Board in its workshop announcement. “In CARB’s most recent petition response, staff committed to continuing to evaluate the dairy sector based on the best available data and to host this workshop on dairy sector data. To better understand these concerns and emissions trends in the State’s dairy sector, CARB staff utilized data sources from federal, state, and local agencies to develop the California Dairy and Livestock Database (CADD). The database contains facility-level cattle population and digester information for California dairies from 2012 to 2022. CADD is based on publicly accessible documents and improves CARB’s ability to track the California dairy and livestock sector trends.” https://lnkd.in/gPcHZV69

Athian announced today the first sale of verified carbon credits in the groundbreaking livestock carbon insetting marketplace to Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), the largest U.S. milk marketing cooperative. Athian’s first accepted protocol to generate carbon credits by reducing enteric methane and improving feed utilization is through the use of an innovative feed management product and quantification tool from Elanco. If the entire U.S. dairy industry leveraged this same intervention, it could avoid 4.7 million metric tons of CO2e emissions annually from enteric, feed and manure emissions, accelerating the impact animal agriculture has in being part of the climate solution. #SustainableAgriculture

Innovative way to reduce carbon from livestock! Better for the planet, farmer and livestock sector. Could we do the same in Europe? #innovation #sustainableagriculture #businessmodelinnovation

Japan next in line for #Bovaer market introduction 🌱 🐄 dsm-firmenich and Japan's own Meiji Holdings are joining forces to drive sustainability in the Japanese dairy sector. 🔍 This strategic partnership centers around implementing Bovaer, a scientifically-backed feed additive, to combat methane emissions from livestock. With methane being a significant contributor to greenhouse gases, especially in dairy farming, Bovaer promises substantial reductions—up to 30% for dairy cattle and 45% for beef feedlot cattle, according to dsm-firmenich. 🌍 Bovaer is already making waves globally, available in 58 countries, including key markets like the EU, UK, Canada, and more. Now, with Japan in focus, regulatory approval is underway. Mark van Nieuwland, VP of Bovaer at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, is optimistic: "We hope to secure approval for Bovaer in Japan within the next 12 months," he tells FeedNavigator. 🥛 #Sustainability #DairySector #BovaerExpansion 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gaWGzQyg

Cow Methane Emission Reduction Strategies Expanding....... Summary: Frank Mitloehner, an air-quality specialist and professor at the University of California-Davis, anticipates that strategies to reduce cattle methane emissions, including feed additives, will greatly expand over the next five years. Why it matters: Lower methane-producing animals can contribute to reduced greenhouse emissions from the livestock sector. Dig Deeper: A 2022 FAO publication explored different livestock methane mitigation strategies including improved health, breeding, feed efficiency, and more. Read: https://lnkd.in/er45MwWA

🚨Greenwash alert!🚨Are feed additives a silver bullet to livestock emissions? No. Great article explains why: 1) Most are untested, 2) Those that are more tested reduce methane only 10-30% in cattle (important to note that cattle don't just emit methane, so that's a far lower % reduction of total emissions, 3) Feed additives very difficult to administer to most grazed cattle, because they need to be fed at least once/twice per day in mixed with concentrate feeds, 4) there are considerable cost and logistical barriers to many farmers adopting them. In conclusion, feed additives "are unlikely to play more than a minor supporting role. Worse, they could be used as a smokescreen, distracting and delaying us from the fundamental need to reduce food loss and waste and shift some diets away from such heavy consumption of ruminant protein." #food #meat #plantbased #lessandbettermeat #climatechange #climatecrisis #biglivestock #defundbiglivestock
Are livestock feed additives the future or folly?

We must transform both our energy and food systems. Our food systems are the number one cause of bursting our planetary boundaries which sustain natural ecosystem functions and the big banks are largely ignoring the food sector when considering their climate commitments. We can all agree we must STOP FUNDING INDISTRIAL AGRICULTURE. Industrial meat and dairy are driving global destruction of nature and climate disruption. Industrial agriculture is long overdue to be illegal. Where do you bank? This report must be cause for urgent change by Barclays Bank of America J.P. Morgan ANZ and Rabo AgriFinance Rabobank
