Feed Additives to Mitigate Methane

The project builds on previous work from collaborating organisations in the National Sheep Methane Program (NSMP) looking at efficacy and delivery of various sheep feed additives. This project will validate combinations of existing additives that are deemed to be cost-effective and close to market-ready, and that are likely to have improved effects on methane abatement as well as productivity. Furthermore, we will be investigating practical aspects of delivering antimethanogenic feed additives to grazing sheep at different production system and environments across Australia. At the end of the project, we will be able to provide validated mitigation and productivity for sheep feed additives and how to deliver those to grazing sheep.
