Technical conference for the presentation of the DEMO project “BEEFMETALIST – Tool for estimating enteric methane emissions from fattening calves”. Beefmetalist is a practical tool for calculating ruminal methane emissions from fattening calves in our production system using methane meters installed on a commercial farm and a "calculator" application. Gaining competitiveness against environmental taxes The impact of providing these tools is the ability to have more data and knowledge about enteric methane emissions in fattening calves in order to implement nutritional or management strategies that reduce these emissions , while gaining competitiveness against a potential environmental tax .
