RumenGases Brazil – Conceptual advance on enteric methane diagnosis diagnostic and mitigation strategies in ruminants in Brazil Currently there is much discussion about the environmental impact of livestock and agricultural activities. The Brazilian livestock sector in particular has been criticized for causing emission of significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Among the various greenhouse gases, livestock production practices contribute significantly to the emission of enteric methane, which can become a non-tariff barrier to exports of animal products. In this regard, research has pointed to the need to develop metho Status: Completed Start date: Sun May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011
RumenGases – Conceptual advancement in diagnosis and strategy for the mitigation of enteric methane in ruminants in Brazil The intensification and adoption of integrated systems has allowed advances for sustainable livestock production. It is important to obtain production with minimal environmental impact. Brazilian livestock, in particular, have been following this trend. The cattle herd contributes significantly to the emission of greenhouse gases, mainly with the emission of enteric methane, which can become a non-tariff barrier for the export of animal products. In this sense, the RumenGases project was develop Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011
The potential use of biodiesel by-products as feed supplements and methane mitigators in cattle diets based on tropical forages The growing biofuel industry generates by-products that have shown promise as energy and protein feeds in ruminant diets. The objective of this project was to determine the effects of by-products of biodiesel production, obtained from different sources of oilseeds, on the in vitro degradability of nutrients, in vitro ruminal fermentation and methane gas production. Palisadegrass ( Brachiaria brizantha) was used as a model. Its isolated incubation was considered as a contro ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007
GREENHOUSE GAS DYNAMICS AND CARBON BALANCE IN GRAIN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS IN BRAZIL The goal of the project is to learn the capacity of the current production systems and of alternative technologies focused on carbon accumulation and sequestration in the soil and on reducing (direct or indirect) greenhouse gas - GHG - emissions. Such knowledge is essential for the investigation and foresight of future scenarios and for the planning of public policy to encourage the adoption of global warming mitigation practices. This project comprises the investigation and analysis of grain pr Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012
