Episode 07 (Season 2) - Breeding for feed efficiency as the key to reducing emissions

A new study shows that cattle emissions in the Nordics can be reduced by approximately 20% by 2050 by investing in feed efficiency. To support this, VikingGenetics is installing the CFIT system in more dairy farms and investing in the Saved Feed Index.But what opportunities does this bring to you as a farmer? How does having access to more feed efficiency data benefit you financially and environmentally?  To learn how to breed more feed-efficient, future-friendly cows, we invited two experts on feed efficiency and sustainable farming into the studio.Guests: Coralia Manzanilla-Pech, Pd.D. in Animal Breeding & Genetics, Assistant Professor at Aarhus UniversityJan Lassen, Ph.D. in Agronomy and Crop Science, Senior Project Manager at VikingGeneticsHost: Hielke Wiersma
