Fitbits for Your Flock - How Smart Tech is Revolutionizing Animal Ag

James Dougherty (CSIRO)

Smart devices like fitbits and Apple watches help us understand our activity and fitness - but they're not just for humans! Dr. Dougherty explains how smart devices are revolutionizing our understanding of livestock behaviour, performance, and sustainability.

Tackling Climate Change by Targeting Cow Burps

Vivienne Santiago (Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), University of Queensland)

Methane, a by-product of cow digestion, is a greenhouse gas 28 times as potent as carbon dioxide in trapping heat inside the atmosphere. My research focuses on delivering a feed additive that can reduce methane emissions in cattle without negative effects on the cows’ health and the resulting produce.
