My choicesMeasures  Estimated improvement (you can change the %)
   Methane inhibitors

Methane inhibitors can produce less methane from ruminants.

 
   Reducing forage waste

From the time the grass is laid in round bales, laid in silos or dried into hay until it is eaten by the cow, we get some waste of feed

 
   Better forage

Early harvested grass results in increased production and less methane emissions from digestion.

 
   Better fertility and animal health

An animal that lives well and has good health and fertility will produce more milk and meat.

 
   Improving breeding in the herd

Through breeding, we have for many decades bred a cow with better health while production has increased.

 
   Early calving and multiple lactations

Less feeding to build up the cow in relation to total production

 
   Biogas

Biogas produces heat, electricity and saves methane from manure storage (se også kalkulator under El og varme)

   Bunker silo

The footprint of the plastic used for silage bales is assessed against the footprint of the concrete for a bunker silo   (Kalkulator - test)
