Grazecarb. Sustainable livestock systems: reducing GHG emissions and improving production efficiency in grazing sheep

Primary and secondary objectives
The primary objective is to measure in vivo methane (CH4) emission from dairy sheep at pasture
Secondary objectives are:
- To obtain algorithms that can be used in LCA studies to improve estimations of enteric CH4 emissions from grazing sheep
- To define key factors to be targeted to reduce CH4 emissions in grazing sheep
- To contribute to literature on CH4 estimations in grazing animals with methods based on markers

ALGESAU - Pilotprosjekt for innføring av mikroalgebasert sauefôr i norsk landbruk

Biokull og metan fra sau

Målet med forsøket er å undersøke om tilsetning av biokull i fôr til sau kan redusere metangassproduksjonen.

Changes in biochar properties after passing through the digestion system of sheep (SheepChar_2)

Several scientific groups have concluded that the use of biochar as an on-farm management tool should be further investigated. Review articles pinpoint the use of biochar to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the entire agricultural production, and this should be studied using whole-chain models.
