Considering greenhouse gas emissions from feed production in diet formulation for dairy cows as a means of reducing the carbon footprint
Dairy production often faces conflicting goals, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing food production and achieving self-sufficiency without transgressing planetary boundaries. This study examined ways to decrease emissions intensity per kg of milk from high-producing cows by selecting feed ingredients with a low carbon footprint while also considering local alternatives. Diets comprising of grass-legume mixture silage and three concentrate mixtures (standard commercial, based on by-products, and domestic crops grown on-farm) were randomly allotted to three groups of high-producing Swedish Holstein cows (N = 48). Over 7 weeks, no differences were observed (mean ± SEM) in feed DM intake (commercial: 24.3, by-products: 24.7, domestic: 24.2 kg/day, ± 0.51 kg/day), energy-corrected milk (ECM) yield (commercial: 38.3, by-products: 38.5, domestic: 37.8, ± 0.98 kg/day) or enteric methane production (commercial: 387, by-products: 378, domestic: 402 g/day, ± 17.3 g/day) among the diets. However, an evaluation of the primary carbon footprint of feed production (excluding transportation emissions) showed that the by-products and domestic diets gave lower emissions than the commercial diet, 9.4, 10.2, and 11.9 Feed CO2 equivalents (CO2-eq) kg/day, respectively (SEM: ± 0.38 Feed CO2-eq kg/day). The emission intensity, expressed as feed emissions per kilogram of ECM yield, showed that the by-product-based and domestic diets generated lower carbon footprints, with emissions of 254 and 284 g Feed CO2-eq/kg ECM, respectively, in comparison to 320 g Feed CO2-eq/kg ECM observed for the commercial diet (SEM: ± 10.7 g Feed CO2-eq/kg ECM). Considering greenhouse gas emissions from feed production in diet formulation resulted in a lower overall feed carbon footprint and lower emission intensity per ECM. These findings can assist in formulating dairy rations for high-yielding dairy cows that balance conflicting goals while maintaining productivity.

animal attracts the best research in animal biology and animal systems from across the spectrum of the agricultural, biomedical, and environmental sciences. It is the central element in an exciting collaboration between the British Society of Animal Science (BSAS), Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP) and represents a merging of three scientific journals: Animal Science; Animal Research; Reproduction, Nutrition, Development. animal publishes original cutting-edge research, ''hot'' topics and horizon-scanning reviews on animal-related aspects of the life sciences at the molecular, cellular, organ, whole animal and production system levels. The main subject areas include: breeding and genetics; nutrition; physiology and functional biology of systems; behaviour, health and welfare; farming systems, environmental impact and climate change; product quality, human health and well-being. Animal models and papers dealing with the integration of research between these topics and their impact on the environment and people are particularly welcome.
