Dairy Global emission reduction seminar at EuroTier 2024
At EuroTier 2024, Dairy Global will host a live and in-person seminar on Tuesday 12 November from 4pm to 5.30pm (CET) on the topic emission reduction in co-operation with Novonesis, Trouw Nutrition, and Cargill. With this seminar we will bring the latest discussions and solutions to help combat emissions in the industry.
The dairy sector is taking charge of reducing emissions, from tackling enteric methane to lowering carbon output. In this seminar, expert speakers will highlight important discussion points and showcase emission reduction tools and solutions from nutrition to management strategies. See below a great line-up of speakers and topics that will be discussed at this seminar.
Dr Rafael Amaral, global technical manager for Silage at Novonesis
Topic: Maximising silage efficiency to cut emissions
- Introduction to the 3S’s of silage production: soil, silo, and silage.
- Importance of the often-overlooked “s” of silo.
- Impact of silo management on silage quality and reduction of losses.
- Connection between improved silo management and emissions reduction.
- Economic benefits of reducing dry matter losses with effective silage inoculants.
- Case study: Emissions and cost savings in dairy farming through better silo practices.
- Sustainable farming practices for future generations.
Dr Liz Homer, sustainability manager ruminants ECA at Trouw Nutrition
Topic: A holistic approach to sustainability from calf to 5th lactation and beyond
- What impacts sustainability?
- How to reduce emissions through nutrition at all stages of an animal’s life
- Decision-making on how to reduce emissions – short, medium and long-term impacts
- What impact this has on sustainability, efficiency and profitability
Dr Philip Ingram, ruminant technology application expert at Cargill
Topic: Reducing dairy emissions – integrated approaches for a sustainable future
- The challenge across emissions reduction
- Introduction of Reach 4 Reduction platform and its 3 key pillars
- Deep dive on some strategies from our portfolio:
- SilvAir (methane emissions reduction)
- Dairy Max (optimising nutrition and health)
- Nitrogen efficiency (optimising nutrition and health)
- Conclusion
Dr Matthias Schilde, researcher ruminant nutrition at Schothorst Feed Research
Topic: Pathways for optimising low-crude protein diets in dairy cows; feeding strategies for improving the efficiency of Nitrogen use and nutrient supply.
- Feeding diets with low crude protein contents can be an effective strategy to reduce nitrogen losses to the environment.
- Results from feeding trials in dairy cows
- Different feeding strategies were tested to overcome potential negative effects on animal productivity when feeding diets with low crude protein contents.
- Specific nutritional parameters are considered in order to optimise rumen functioning and nutrient supply to finally improve nitrogen efficiency.
