Dairy Greenhouse Gas Abatement Calculator

The Dairy Greenhouse gas Abatement Strategies Calculator (DGAS) allows farm managers to calculate the impact of adopting different abatement strategies on their total farm GHG emissions and can help them work out the strategies best suited to their farming system.

Abatement strategies modelled by the calculator fall into four categories; herd management, feeding management, soil management and farm intensification. Modelling shows that any farm efficiency improvement will lower GHG emissions/t MS.
