NEW AGRI-ENVIRONMENT-CLIMATE SCHEME TO REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM BEEF

The new Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) in Ireland is aimed at improving the quality of the national suckler beef herd.
This is expected to reduce GHG emissions per kg of beef produced because a more efficient suckler cow will, during its lifetime, produce more beef calves of higher quality.
The central element of the BDGP is a large-scale database of detailed information about commercial suckler cow herds.
Farmers in the scheme are committed to a six-year programme of herd record keeping and genotyping (DNA analysis of individual animals) and must choose ** herd replacements ** with a high ‘star rating’.
(...)
The BDGP payment rates are based on the time required for record keeping, the cost of genotyping and the net cost of ** herd replacements ** (less any economic benefits from the scheme).
