Objectives of the Feed and Gas WG
The objectives of the Feed and Gas WG are to:
- Provide a forum for members of ICAR and associated researchers to collaborate, exchange information and learn from each other on all aspects of: recording and using dry matter intake data, and recording and using methane outputs data.
- Maintain, update, promote and extend universal guidelines for recording dry matter intake and methane output in cattle, sheep and goats world-wide
- Conduct and report the results of periodic international surveys on recording dry matter intake and methane output in cattle, sheep and goats worldwide.
- Develop, provide and promote a system and standards for data storage and genetic evaluation services which will form the basis of services that ICAR will provide to members of ICAR and their research associates on a user pays basis.
- Facilitate and cooordinate international collaboration in research and development on recording and using dry matter intake data, and recording and using methane outputs data.
