It is critical to maintain and support practices available to farms that help make them more resilient to the effects of a changing climate. Improved feed management has the capacity to save money through greater feed efficiency. Combining this with better manure management also offers farms the opportunity to better adapt to extreme weather, while reducing methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.
This webinar is intended for technicians and educators who are looking to assist dairy farmers in navigating options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (via dairy feed and manure management systems). Other social, environmental, or economic considerations will also be addressed in this presentation.
