Breeding more efficient animals could help unlock profitability and environmental gains for Tasmanian dairy farmers, according to a new project.
This comes as consumer pressure mounts on agricultural production to improve its on-farm and supply-chain environmental credentials.
The project, led by DairyTas and supported by LIC, the Tasmanian Government and Serve-Ag, investigated how the Tasmanian dairy industry could reduce carbon emissions.
Central to the findings was the need to breed a cow that produces high milk solids relative to its live weight, while lasting longer in the herd.
Former DairyTas sustainable dairying adviser Rachel Brown said genetics was an obvious starting point for the investigation, as cattle produce 60 to 65 per cent of the emissions from the state’s industry.
