Livestock emissions reduced by 17% in JBS and Silvateam project
JBS and Silvateam recently announced the results of the study carried out at the São Paulo Institute of Zootechny (IZ), which shows that tannins can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in beef production.
The study found that using feed additives, in this case Silvafeed BX, containing tannins and saponins can reduce enteric methane emissions by up to 17% for feedlot beef cattle. The methodology employed in the study will enable industry players to track emission reductions in their greenhouse gas accounting in the future.
