AHGHG Network

Animal Health & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity Network.Part of the GRA. Aim to bring researchers from animal health and greenhouse gas fields together.

@AHGHGN @SRUC @SRUCResearch Next steps: focus groups with Senegal farmers and 1-to-1 interviews

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @SRUC @SRUCResearch Beyond the GLEAM model, barriers to change inc: sociocultural, financial, infrastructure, policy, markets

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @SRUC @SRUCResearch What are the abatement potentials? What is the cost effectiveness? What are the barriers to change?

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @SRUC @SRUCResearch Senegal - high reliance on cattle for poverty eliviation and nutrition. Milk demand greater than current supply

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @SRUC @SRUCResearch Estimated demand for livestock produce in devloping regions

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

Gareth Salmon @SRUC @SRUCResearch - Can improved productivity reduce the carbon footprint of Senegalese smallholder cattle systems?

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

Short break for tea and will resume with Gareth Salmon @SRUC @SRUCResearch

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @CranfieldUni -70 kt CO2 e /yr based on eliminating bTB in Wales (<2% of current rate) but prealence of bTB is low in Wales

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @CranfieldUni Results: Emissions intensity from suckler beef reduced

[AHGHG Network @AHGHGN]

@AHGHGN @CranfieldUni Results: Dairy cow numbers -0.29%, emissions intensity reduced, cull cow numbers reduced.
