Trangie Field Day: Tools to Cut Livestock Emissions
Producers, researchers, and industry service providers are invited to the Trangie Agricultural Research Centre for a Livestock Emissions Field Day on Thursday 24 July.
Hosted by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (NSW DPIRD) in collaboration with Local Land Services (LLS), this free, hands-on event will provide attendees with the practical tools and knowledge to help reduce emissions in their own livestock operations.
NSW DPIRD Livestock Development Officer Tracie Bird-Gardiner emphasised the importance of staying informed about the latest research and innovations in emissions reduction.
“Understanding the role of livestock emissions research is critical for the future of agriculture,” Ms Bird-Gardiner said.
“This Field Day is about equipping producers with the latest science-backed tools and knowledge to make informed decisions that benefit both their operations and the environment.”
The event will feature expert talks and live demonstrations on cutting-edge topics including:
The event will highlight ongoing research projects including Low Methane Sheep, Beef and Pastures – all key components in the broader effort to support sustainable and productive farming systems.
NSW DPIRD Research officer, Quantitive Genetics, Dr Tom Granleese said this is a chance for producers to see firsthand how emissions reduction strategies can be integrated into everyday farm management.
“Whether it’s through genetics, feed, or pasture systems, there are practical steps we can take today to build a more resilient industry.”
Improving the efficiency of livestock production can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of production (kg CO2e/kg production). New tools have been developed (Greenhouse gas dashboard) by the NSW government Primary Industries Productivity and Abatement Program and Storm and Flood Recovery program through close collaboration with the NSW DPIRD Digital Agriculture, Pastures and Extensive Livestock teams to assist producers understand emission intensity. Real-time emissions intensity data empowers producers to make informed management decisions that reduce the carbon footprint of beef production, directly supporting government and supply chain emission reduction targets.
The field day will be hosted at the Trangie Agricultural Research Centre, and will run from 9:00am to 3:30pm, Thursday 24 July.
