This $4,000,000 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (CFDA 10.912 - Environmental Quality Incentives Program) to Cornell University will fund research to develop enhanced diet formulation strategies to reduce nitrogen excretion from lactating dairy cattle, as well as conduct herd-level methane inventory estimations to establish a baseline for methane reduction. The project aims to promote agricultural production,...
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...
This $301,300 federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (CFDA 10.912), seeks to shift the paradigm around livestock, nutrient management, cover crops, and soil health. The funding supports the American Farmland Trust, a non-profit organization, in realizing the environmental and economic benefits of livestock grazing cover crops. The project aims to promote...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research to collect data on methane production and metabolic rates in grazing beef cows. The $650,000 award to Kansas State University will enable the development of a prototype genetic evaluation system to improve the efficiency and sustainability of beef production, particularly by...
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...
This $592,874 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (CFDA 10.912) supports temporary grazing and virtual fence research and implementation in Minnesota.
