The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $640,000 project grant to The Ohio State University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to test the use of rumen-derived succinate-producing bacteria and red algae (Asparagopsis taxiformis) as an innovative approach to reduce methane emissions while improving feed efficiency in beef cattle. The research project aims to divert conserved energy from the inhibition of rumen methanogenesis towards...
This $10 million project grant from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310), funds research to develop algae-based feed supplements for dairy cattle. The goal is to improve feed efficiencies, milk yields, and reduce environmental impacts of dairy production through recapturing nutrients and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The lead awardee, Colby College, will...
The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska was awarded a $5,000,000 Project Grant by the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to develop science-based dietary and management intervention strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cattle. The project aims to understand the genetic, dietary, and microbial factors that influence methane production in ruminant livestock, with the goal of translating these findings into practical mitigation strategies for...
The University of Wisconsin System was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. This grant will fund research to better understand how the rumen microbiome of dairy cows affects methane production, and how dietary changes can influence these emissions. The researchers aim to uncover the trade-offs involved in reducing methane...
