Beef Connect webinar: Nitrate supplements, methane and remote technologies

A new producer demonstration trial is attempting to identify novel methods to improve the precision of supplementation while simultaneously demonstrating practical methane mitigation technologies via supplements.

The trial is also testing the effect of free choice supplementation concepts to further understand animal performance and its relationship with supplement use, watering and grazing behaviour. The trial is utilising innovative remote livestock monitoring / management technologies to quantify all individual animal responses.

In this webinar we will discuss:

• methane from livestock basics
• basics of non-protein nitrogen supplementation and why nitrate
• PDS trial design, aims, preliminary data and where it will go.

Guest presenters

Join the research team: Joe Miller, Roger Hegarty and John Nolan from the University of New England along with hosts Jon Condon (Beef Central) and Greg Bath (FutureBeef).
