Climate smart dairy and beef

Production efficiency in the dairy and beef industry canbe defined as minimizing the amount of inputs (e.g., feed, fossil fuels) and outputs (e.g., ammonia, NH3; greenhouse gases, GHG) to produce a given quantity of milk or meat. The present paper will focus on the dairy example. Production efficiency improvements can come from minimizing waste, maximizing a dairy cow’s milk production, and maximizing the proportion of her life spent in peak milk production without sacrificing animal health and well-being.
