Reducing GHG Emissions from Fed Cattle Aggregation Project - Pool 6
The purpose of this project is to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from fed cattle by reducing enteric methane production as well as methane and nitrous oxide emissions pertaining to manure storage and handling. The quantification protocol utilized to achieve this goal does not require that one technique or combination of techniques be used, nor that the implemented strategies remain the same over time. Various strategies or combinations of strategies may be employed to achieve reductions, but reduction claims must be substantiated through proper documentation.
Feedlots will be aggregated by TELUS Agriculture Solutions Inc. These feedlots receive consultation services regarding nutrition, animal health and performance cattle health professionals.
Reduction of GHG emissions in this project will be achieved by utilizing various feeding strategies, feeding technologies, management practices and genetic improvements in the cattle procured. More specifically, the practices employed in this project include utilizing edible oils to maintain a dietary fat level with a minimum of 4%, inclusion and/or optimization of feed additives and implant strategies, use of beta-modulators (lubabegron fumurate) or enzyme products to increase feed digestibility, and individual animal sorting/selection based on feed performance.
