IN todayâs episode podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with Dr Frank Mitloehner, in a deep-dive into the beef industryâs climate impact, the importance of accurate accounting methodologies and why the livestock
âIf we continue to reduce methane emissions in livestock sectors, whether through better grazing and forage, genetics, or tools coming online such as feed additives, livestock can be part of a climate solution. There arenât many sectors that can say that,â he told the recent World Angus Forum.
Rather than being wrongly cast as a climate villain, Prof Mitloehner presented an opportunity for the livestock industry to be part of the climate solution.
âFarmers and graziers are stewards of the land and have been for generations. Stewardship is sometimes called sustainability, but regardless of the term, itâs part of the make-up of agriculture to manage the environment responsibly,â he said. âIf we can reduce methane emissions from livestock, which we have, we can reduce warming by absorbing some of the excess greenhouse gases being emitted by industry.â

IN today's episode podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with Angus cattle producers attending the World Angus Congress in Brisbane.
Genetic selection of cattle for lower methane, sustainability and consumer attitudes to climate issues were common themes throughout the two-day event.
In this podcast, Angus cattlemen and women from across Australia and overseas give their views on how genetic selection for low methane might unfold in coming years. Will it be driven by pull-through from beef brand programs wishing to make carbon/methane claims? Will price signals be necessary for bull breeders to add methane to the already long list of traits they select for?
