As global pressure mounts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, the challenge remains: can we lower methane outputs from ruminants while still producing enough meat to satisfy consumer demand?
In this month's BrisScience, The University of Queensland's Dr Sarah Meale explores current research into the use of feed additives aimed at achieving this dual goal.
She'll examine what’s working, what still needs to be understood, and how close we are to a solution that’s both economically viable and environmentally sound.
Meet the presenter
Dr Sarah Meale is a Senior Lecturer in Animal Science at The University of Queensland, specialising in ruminant nutrition, gut microbiology, and sustainable production. Her research focuses on early-life rumen programming and feed efficiency to reduce methane emissions, with work spanning lab studies to large-scale grazing and feedlot trials in partnership with industry.
