In the climate action plan progress report and high impact measures the Minister referred to the fact that in regard to grazing, feed additives have yet to be evaluated. As we know, feed additives only work if the animal is in the shed and Ireland's beef and dairy industry is based on the fact that livestock is pasture-fed. If we are still evaluating that and it still has to go through European Food Safety Authority evaluation what is the timeline on it? What are the expected reductions in emissions? Have we the time to wait, or to rely so heavily on that method?
