About the event:
One of Norway's leading experts in the field, Harald Volden, shares knowledge about the use of methane inhibitors.
Discussions about the use of methane inhibitors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants have been numerous and loud throughout 2023. Ethical dilemmas, but also different perceptions of the scientific basis for using methane inhibitors, have had a great deal of focus. If you, like us, think that it is wise to know more, join us on this webinar.
You will learn more about:
- What exactly is a methane inhibitor?
- How does a methane inhibitor work on animals?
- How does a methane inhibitor affect the climate and environment?
We will also hear thoughts on how methane inhibitors can become part of the feed recipe for Norwegian livestock in the future.
Along with Harald, Eirik Selmer-Olsen, head of MetanHUB, will also participate.
Harald Volden is a professor at NMBU and a director of TINE Consulting. Harald has been an important contributor to developing sustainable production methods and reducing the climate footprint of livestock.
Eirik Selmer-Olsen is Head of Research at TINE and leader of the MetanHUB project. The project aims to reduce methane emissions from Norwegian milk and meat production by 30 % by 2027.
