Australian ERF: Beef cattle herd management

Sadie S

This method allows producers of pasture-fed beef cattle across Australia to earn carbon credits by reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions from their herds. Benefits associated with reducing these GHG emissions include higher productivity of digestion and improved animal health in beef cattle herds. Practices include increasing pasture quality, providing supplemental feed all year, and improving weaning percentage by culling unproductive cows.
