Original call for evidence
Call for evidence description
Cows and sheep are the main cause of methane emissions from farms. Introducing feed products that reduce methane to livestock diets may have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We want to know:
- if you’re aware of the role of feed additives in farming, and of feed products that reduce methane
- if you’re aware of anything that could prevent these products being introduced
- how government can work with farmers and agri-businesses to encourage the use of feed products like these
