Course Goal / Objective

This course aims to help the students recognize impact of ruminant nutrition on our planet and, also, give informations to the student about a sustainable way to mitigate methane emissions from ruminants, meeting but not exceeding nutrient requirements, especially, nitrogen, phosphorus.

Course Content

Interactions between ruminants and the environment, nitrogen and phosphorus requirements of ruminant, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolisms in rumen, improving the efficiency of nutrient use on ruminant operations, Methane production by ruminants and its contribution to global warming.

Course Precondition

General Animal Nutrition and Ruminant Nuttion or approval of the instructors are needed.

Resources
