During this session David covered the indirect and direct options for mitigating enteric methane. Indirect options include improving feed quality and animal health for improved animal efficiency and reduction in GHG . Direct interventions act directly in the rumen to reduce methane and include options such as methane inhibitors , vaccines, feed composition and plant secondary metabolites. David does a thorough review of the current options available and those coming through the pipeline including insight into new research and advantages and limitations of the options. David also touched on post-emission destruction and new tech being developed here.
