Research produced by ABP, from the 5,500 cattle that have gone through its Demonstration Farm over the last decade, has shown producing younger, heavier animals leads to earlier finishing times, potentially significantly reducing carbon emissions by 32%.
The announcement came as ABP Food Group marked a decade of research on its Demonstration Farm in Co Carlow with a special event highlighting the progress made to date in reducing climate emissions and improving on-farm efficiency.
