The Meth-Abate project also highlights benefits from 'oxidisng slurry' additives.
"Science and innovation" can provide the solutions needed to reduce the emissions profile of our food production in Ireland.
That's what Junior Agriculture Minister Martin Heydon is saying after a research project into livestock feed showed the potential to reduce methane emissions by more than a quarter.
The Meth-Abate project suggests a feed additive can reduce methane emissions by 28%.
It also shows an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from long-term storage of liquid manures and slurries using a new oxidising slurry additive.
Kildare South TD Martin Heydon says the Department's work has seen good results:
