Download Total greenhouse gas emissions from farm systems with increasing use of supplementary feeds across different regions of New Zealand

Pastoral farms in New Zealand (NZ) have been intensifying and for dairy farms in
particular this has involved the increased use of brought-in supplementary feeds. The
objectives of this research project were to examine the effects of the integration of
commonly-used supplementary feeds into dairy, or sheep and beef farm systems on
total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, based on field and respiration chamber
research studies and use of farm system analysis models.
