Optimizing Dairy Production for Climate Impact Reduction

This discussion by Stephanie Gable from Novus International focuses on enhancing dairy production efficiency to mitigate climate impact. It reflects on the environmental footprint of dairy from 1944 to 2007, emphasizing key sustainability factors: economy, efficiency, and environment. The talk highlights strategies for reducing methane emissions through better livestock productivity, cow comfort, and nutritional balance. Insights into diet formulation to meet amino acid and trace mineral needs are shared, advocating for healthier cows and improved environmental outcomes.

  1. Feed-A Solution to Climate Impact? Stephanie Gable Novus International, Inc., St. Louis, MO May 11,2010

  2. 50 Years of Maximizing Production Source: JAS, March 2009, “The environmental impact of dairy production: 1944 compared with 2007”, J.L. Capper, R.A. Cady and D.E. Bauman

  3. Sustainability and Dairy Production • 3 E’s of Sustainability • Economics • Efficiency • Environment

  4. Primary Impact of Nutrition on Climate “The most promising approach for reducing methane emissions from U.S. livestock is by improving the productivity and efficiency of livestock production.” Source: EPA, 2010 http://www.epa.gov/rlep/faq.html

  5. Dairy and the Climate

  6. Cow Comfort • Bunk space • Mobility • Standing time • Lying time • Barn design • Lameness • Hock injuries

  7. Oxidative Balance • Optimizing Inputs • Keeping cows healthy and in oxidative balance from a nutritional standpoint • Using antioxidants, trace minerals and amino acids to minimize free radicals • Supporting internal enzymatic reactions

  8. Reducing Excretion to the Environment • Formulating diets to Amino Acid requirements • Feeding to trace mineral requirements • Increased bioavailability and absorption through chelation
