State of the Science Summit: Feed Strategies to Reduce Enteric Emissions
The California Department of Food and Agriculture and the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences invite you to participate in a two-day conference: State of the Science Summit: Feed Strategies to Reduce Enteric Emissions. The Summit will be held May 2-3, 2023 at UC Davis.
The Summit will include informational presentations and panel discussions with leading experts in methane mitigation and animal science, connecting the dots between the scientific and regulatory aspects of feed strategies to reduce enteric emissions. Our goal is to identify opportunities for collaboration and research that can help the dairy and beef industries meet climate goals.
The event will feature California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross and UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Dean Helene Dillard. Joining them will be leading academic researchers, CDFA staff, and cattle producers and industry representatives.
Panels will discuss:
- The state of current research around enteric methane reductions via feed strategies
- Methods and protocols for evaluating methane reduction
- Opportunities for research
- Supply chain drivers influencing the adoption of feed additives
- Outlook and industry guidance when evaluating product safety and claims
- Producer adoption of feed additives
Lunch will be provided both days and dietary considerations can be noted when registering. A reception will be held the first evening on the conference. If you are unable to attend in person, please register for the virtual option when registering.
In person capacity is limited. We anticipate a livestream option will be available.
