RuminOmics
From 2012-01-01 to 2015-12-31, ongoing project
Methane emission from ruminant livestock is an important source of greenhouse gas. In the RUMINOMICS project, 11 partners across Europe work together to try to decrease the environmental footprint of ruminant production by exploiting state-of-the-art –omics technologies. A connection will be made between the animal genome, gastrointestinal microbiome and nutrition to improve digestion efficiency and decrease environmental damage from methane and nitrogen emissions.
The aim of the project is to integrate expertise and technologies to increase rumen efficiency and decrease the environmental footprint of ruminant production, significantly advancing current knowledge in this sector.
