New Zealand farmers are now able to raise livestock that emit lower levels of methane, as they can be genetically modified to contribute less to the depletion of the ozone layer.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) Genetics have launched a new “methane research breeding value” to select important traits that ram breeders want more of in their flocks. It will take two years for these rams to reach maturity.
