Food from Grass: Genetics and Digital Twins to optimize ruminant agricultural sustainability
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, generated by ruminants (cows, sheep, goats) in their rumen. The genetics of the animal, the feed and the microbiome all affect the production of methane, and digital twins are being developed to optimize productivity and reduce methane emissions from animals.

Chromosomal evolution in Brachiaria forage grasses with Fabiola Carvalho Santos
Fabiola Santos from University of Londrina, Brazil, is working on the Chromosomal evolution and the organization of repetitive DNA sequences in diploid and polyploid Brachiaria forage grasses in the molecular cytogenetics group in Leicester. Brachiaria is most important cultivated forage grass genus in Brazil (with billion-dollar production), and the genus includes diploid and polyploid species with similar…
