The SDP takes Further Steps Towards Aligning the Dairy Industry

SAI Platform is pleased to announce that Ireland’s Origin Green, Dairy Australia and the US Dairy Stewardship Commitment will be fully integrated into the Sustainable Dairy Partnership (SDP) from July 2022.

In 2021 a project was set up to integrate the national programmes from Ireland, Australia and the US into the SDP.

The assessments showed that each programme had a different level of equivalency when benchmarked against the SDP, reinforcing the need for a flexible and localised approach.

Video: Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

PhD Student Madison Kindberg, and Air Quality Specialist and Professor, Dr. Frank Mitloehner explain the unique Cattle Pen Enclosures and how they will capture emissions from cattle using state of the art technology. The enclosures are well equipped with one-way airflow fans, smart scales, and smart feeds that can tell you what an animal ate, when they ate and how much they ate. All enclosures are connected to one mobile air quality lab which uses gas monitors and analyzers to collect precision data. This data will be used to determine if an early-life methane reducing bolus can reduce emissions from cattle long-term.
