Évaluer et interpréter l’efficience d’utilisation des aliments et des terres par les ruminants Open
Alors que les aliments d'origine animale représentent 25 % des protéines consommées par l'Homme dans le monde et sont reconnus pour leur qualité nutritionnelle, l'élevage est régulièrement critiqué pour son inefficience. En particulier, l’…

Exploring Rotational Grazing and Crossbreeding as Options for Beef Production to Reduce GHG Emissions and Feed-Food Competition through Farm-Level Bio-Economic Modeling Open
In the context of a growing population, beef production is expected to reduce its consumption of human-edible food and its contribution to global warming. We hypothesize that implementing the innovations of fast rotational grazing and rede…

Quantification of methane emitted by ruminants: a review of methods Open
The contribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ruminant production systems varies between countries and between regions within individual countries. The appropriate quantification of GHG emissions, specifically methane (CH4), has …

Decision support tools for grass-based fodder management on Walloon dairy farms: current adoption and perspectives Open
Description of the subject. Many decision support tools (DSTs) have been developed to help dairy farmers optimally manage the high variability in the quality and availability of grass-based fodder, but their adoption rate remains low. Obje…

Milk mid-infrared spectra enable prediction of lactation-stage-dependent methane emissions of dairy cattle within routine population-scale milk recording schemes Open
Mitigating the proportion of energy intake lost as methane could improve the sustainability and profitability of dairy production. As widespread measurement of methane emissions is precluded by current in vivo methods, the development of a…

Assessment of GHG Emissions and Their Variability of Meat Production Systems in Wallonia Based on Grass and Maize Open
Within the framework of the Optenerges project, funded under the Interreg IV program, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 62 cattle farms representative of the main production systems in the Province of Luxembourg in Wallonia, Belgium we…

Organic Versus Conventional Farming: The Case of wheat Production in Wallonia (Belgium) Open
The environmental impact of wheat production was assessed through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Local data were collected to characterize Walloon conventional and organic wheat production systems. Two functional units (FU) were investigated…
