Briefings

EMBRAPA researchers are investigating Nelore cattle genetics and gut microbiota to lower methane emissions and improve feed efficiency. This study aims to identify genetic markers linked to reduced methane production in Brazil's most common beef breed.

Key points

• EMBRAPA researchers are studying Nelore cattle genetics and gut microbiota to reduce methane emissions and improve feed efficiency.
• Nelore cattle are the most widely raised beef breed in Brazil.

Context

EMBRAPA is the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation responsible for developing agricultural technologies. The study targets Nelore cattle, the dominant beef breed in Brazil, to address methane emissions and feed efficiency.

Limitations

Evidence is limited to initial research objectives without specific data on genetic markers, methane reduction percentages, or animal performance metrics. No specific dates, locations, or named individuals are provided beyond the research institution.
