Edel O’Connor, PhD student, Teagasc, Athenry reports on the INZAC and breeding flocks in this month's @TeagascSheep newsletter. After a challenging spring, good weather conditions in recent weeks have allowed for increased grass growth levels. Read more https://t.co/cXzZ02x6zc

[@GrassToGas @grasstogas]

A recently published study carried out by @edeloconner15 in the @TeagascSheep team and funded by @GrassToGas and @GreenBreedDAFM confirms an optimal time of 50 min to measure gaseous emissions of sheep in portable accumulation chambers. https://t.co/ZU5qbDCgQm @SheepIreland

Check out RTE’s report on the @agriculture_ie ‘Ag-climatise’ Roadmap which features the @GreenBreedDAFM cattle methane measurement at @HerdPlus. Animal breeding is one of the key actions to reduce farm environmental emissions

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

The Government has published a roadmap on how the agriculture sector will reduce carbon emissions. Animals are responsible for 83% of all agri-emissions. Ireland aims to have a carbon neutral economy by 2050. | Read more: https://t.co/HUOx9HQqjJ

[Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine @agriculture_ie]

Minister @McConalogue has launched a National Climate & Air Roadmap for the agriculture sector

‘Ag Climatise’ sets an ambitious vision for a ‘climate neutral agriculture sector by 2050’ and includes 29 actions aimed at reducing environmental footprint

Our recent work on a validation of the Irish beef terminal index and the benefits of selection on the index for feed efficiency @CritterChatter #TranslationalAnimalScience @GreenBreedDAFM @CIT_ie @HerdPlus @TeagascBeef @RoySleator @Craig_CIT https://t.co/onMmzrMlum

[Teagasc Beef @TeagascBeef]

Tune into #BeefTalk on Monday, 6 July at 12pm and hear from Alan Twomey who will address what the differences are between selecting on the basis of the ICBF Replacement Index and/or Terminal Index. Find out more at https://t.co/uBbYhdRDFg #VirtualBeefWeek

Portable Accumulation Chambers (PAC) from @AgResearchNEWS are being used to measure #methane from grass based sheep systems for @GreenBreedDAFM & @grasstogas in @teagasc. @TeagascSheep @SheepIreland

[Alan Twomey @AlanTwomey1]

You don't need a big cow to rear a big calf. Replacement index identifies cows that are more efficient. @farming_indo @HerdPlus @teagasc @TeagascBeef
