S5 Ep13: World Angus Forum delegates on genetic selection progress in methane reduction

IN today’s episode podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with Angus cattle producers attending the World Angus Forum in Brisbane.

Genetic selection of cattle for lower methane, sustainability and consumer attitudes to climate issues were common themes throughout the two-day event.

In this podcast, Angus cattlemen and women from across Australia and overseas give their views on how genetic selection for low methane might unfold in coming years. Will it be driven by pull-through from beef brand programs wishing to make carbon/methane claims? Will price signals be necessary for bull breeders to add methane to the already long list of traits they select for? Click the link to learn more.

Next week: Global livestock emissions crusader Frank Mitloener, who spoke this week at the World Angus Forum.
