Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council’s (DCRC) April 3 webinar features the “economic considerations of methane-reducing feed additives.”
This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 2 p.m. Central time (Chicago time). Fernanda Ferreira, director, agriculture methane at Clean Air Task Force (CATF), will discuss methane-reducing feed additives and carbon markets.
The use of methane-reducing feed additives is a tool to reduce the methane impact from livestock. For dairy farmers and their technical team, it is important that the economic challenges and opportunities of these additives are well understood.
During this webinar, Ferreira will discuss these challenges and opportunities – focusing on voluntary carbon markets and inset markets, and sharing useful insights that will help dairy decision-makers make more informed decisions about methane-reducing feed additives.
