Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Mr. Richard Kennedy:
I will defer to my colleague, Mr. Hagan, but my initial reaction is that the research we have done is unique. We have the largest multispecies grazing platform in Europe and have done research on an ongoing basis throughout the growing season. That research included the use of live animals and live animal performance. Not only have we measured that, we have also measured the performance of the animals. I will defer to Mr. Hagan, who will give the Chairman the background specifically on measurement. We will then talk about persistence, which Dr. Gilliland may speak about. I will then speak about dairy farmers.
