Sheeps
Winter-fed
The number of winter-fed sheep is a way to state your livestock numbers. You count how many breeding ewes you keep in the barn through the winter that are due to lamb in the spring.

My choicesMeasures  Estimated improvement
   Additives in fed

Seaweed, biochar or enzymes can produce less methane from the rumen during the indoor period

 
   Better forage
Early harvested grass results in increased production and less methane emissions from digestion. When the grass is harvested earlier (above 0.90 Fem/kg DM), this can reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to two mechanisms. 1. Lower methane production from the rumen due to higher digestibility. 2. Higher performance and thus more kg of milk to distribute the greenhouse gas emissions on.

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

 
   Better Mammal Efficiency

This can be both the number of live born lambs and the good ability to take care of lambs on pasture Effect on production not on total CO2.
