Preliminary estimates of on-farm methane emissions for sheep production on the Northern
Tablelands of Australia Estimating on-farm sheep methane emissions
Preliminary results of estimating on-farm methane emissions for sheep production on the Northern Tablelands of Australia– Dr Malcolm McPhee – Animal Production – 15 th February 2011
Outline
Background Sheep production on the Northern Tablelands
– Objectives– On-farm data collection– Methane estimates and analyses– Sheep production data
Preliminary results
UWA: Ridgefield, Pingelly, WA
CSIRO: Lansdown, Qld
DPI Victoria: DPI Hamilton/ Demo dairy Terang, Victoria
UNE: Trevenna, Armidale, NSW
“Reducing Livestock Emissions Program” to demonstrate potential mitigation strategies for enteric emissions.
UWA: Ridgefield, Pingelly, WA
CSIRO: Lansdown, Qld
DPI Victoria: DPI Hamilton/ Demo dairy Terang, Victoria
UNE: Trevenna, Armidale, NSW
Main Project Objectives at the Trevenna site
Demonstrate– differences in methane (CH4) production from
sheep grazing on different landscapes: • low fertility (hills @ 3.7 DSE/ha)
