GHG-Genomic Tools (GHG reduction through genomic tools) is a multi-investigator, NSERC Alliance (Sustainable Agriculture) and RDAR set of funded research projects aimed at helping Canada meet its climate goal of net-zero C emissions by 2050 and maintain sustainability. Within GHG-Genomic Tools, the team is focused on development and adoption of genomic tools and practices that improve sustainability and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in beef cattle. The first pathway is to evaluate fecal near infrared spectroscopy (NIRs) as a proxy for measuring methane production from individual cattle. A successful proxy will allow for the large-scale measurement of methane emissions and development of a sustainability index to select cattle that produce less methane. Feed intake and direct methane emissions will also be measured, which will contribute towards the development of molecular breeding values for genomic methane traits. In the second pathway, the project will focus on increasing the adoption of genomic tools on commercial farms. Currently, less than 20% of commercial beef producers are using genetic selection, so even if a genomic tool to select low methane emitting cattle was created, industry impact would be low. This project will develop a carbon offset protocol specific to technologies in the cow herd that reduce GHG emissions, with a focus on genetic selection, aiming to incentivize sustainable practice adoption. The project will also engage an industry advisory committee to develop beneficial management practices (BMPs) for genetic selection on commercial farms. These BMPs will be piloted on 50 commercial farms for economic performance, with integration of measurements needed to evaluate the carbon protocol and the quantification prototype. Participating producers will also be interviewed to better understand barriers to adoption of genetic selection and different incentivization strategies. This project spans the entire innovation pipeline, from discovery to adoption, to reduce GHG emissions from the beef cattle while supporting a resilient and profitable industry. Team members include natural and social scientists, governmental researchers and decision makers, private producers and industry groups, as well as environmental groups.
