Joint EAAP Symposium Highlights the Complexity of Sustainable Milk Production
By Conor McCabe
To wrap up the final day of the Annual Meeting, ADSA hosted a series of talks that discussed how sustainable dairy production can be part of climate solutions. While carbon is often the focus on sustainability discussions, this symposium partnership with EAAP integrated the topics of economics, society’s concerns, nitrogen use efficiency, and greenhouse gasses associated with milk production.
The first speaker, Dr. Koerkamp of Wageningen University discussed the social influencers that have limited the dairy sector’s ability to utilize fertilizers and manure utilization due to society’s concerns with nitrogen pollution.
This was followed by a discussion from Dr. Dillon, who pointed out the paradoxes of sustainable accounting metrics. We commonly think that nitrogen use efficiency is positively related to milk production. While her dataset demonstrated this as a positive trend, there were individual farms that had relatively lower milk production, but greater nitrogen use efficiency showing that there are oddities that go against the trend.
Moving from nitrogen to methane, Dr. Konig led a discussion on whether we can select for lower methane emitting cows. From a genetics point of view, lower methane emitting traits were suggested to have a moderate heritability of about 0.15, which shows promise to make rapid methane reduction gains.
Bringing it all home, Steve Eicker held a discussion on what role economics play in farm sustainability with relation to cow longevity. Culling cows sooner and having sufficient replacements, can lead to greater beef prices for the producer while having no impact on total farm milk production.
As the dairy sector enters a sustainable focus era, there will continue to be thought-provoking conversations to satisfy all stakeholders of the global dairy industry.
Conor McCabe is the incoming GSD Vice President and a PhD student under Dr. Frank Mitloehner at UC Davis working on quantifying and mitigating the greenhouse gas footprint of dairy production in California.
