I get out of the wellies the odd time! Great day at the @UCD_CHAS Symposium presenting a poster on methane work I carried out with the help of the @ucdlyonsfarm team & @TeagascSheep last year. Lovely to see and hear about other research being completed in UCD also👩🏼🔬👩🏼🌾

Great to see this @Multi4More poster at the @AFBI_NI Soil conference in Belfast today. Danielle Varley will be investigating how plant diversity and nitrogen level affect nitrous oxide emissions

A very busy but enjoyable few days comparing methane produced by ewes and lambs grazing a multi species sward vs a PRG monoculture @Multi4More . Big thank you to @PallasTb and the team at @ucdlyonsfarm for all the help and @Mc_CarronPaddy @TeagascSheep for providing the PAC 🐑🌱

If you have a few minutes to spare this evening, please complete this survey as part of @shobaker work investigating farmer opinions and attitudes to the use of MSS @Multi4More
Livestock Farmers!🧑🌾👨🌾
Do you use Multispecies Swards?
Do you refuse to use them?
What advice would you need to be better-informed?
Please let us know [surveymonkey.com/r/NHW7RQS]

A busy day @ucdlyonsfarm @ucdagfood measuring methane output from lambs as part of @Multi4More @agriculture_ie research project with colleagues from @TeagascSheep and equipment developed by @AgResearchNEWS as part of @RachieConnolly PhD. @Mc_CarronPaddy running the kit

Helen is a fantastic advocate for sustainable pasture based livestock production systems. Pragmatic and visionary, Helen has led the national efforts on grazing Multispecies swards for multiple benefits @HelenBSheridan @SMARTSWARD1 @Multi4More @ucdagfood
And now @HelenBSheridan connects One Health with biodiversity, multi-species swards and sustainability @ucdagfood

💥Fantastic opportunity for a statistics postdoc to work on global dataset from LegacyNet ☘️🌱experiment with @CarolineBrophy5 at Trinity College Dublin. (1.5 years) What effect of plant diversity on yield in expts across >30 countries?

Animals on the MSS have consistently out performed their counterparts on perennial ryegrass. We've rejuvenated the herb content of the sward over the last 12 months by stitching in after silage. 50% of the area last year and the other 50% this year. Now 🌧 🕺 time
A quick update on the current cattle on @SMARTSWARD1 project. After a year on their swards cattle grazing MSS are 60 kg heavier than their PRG counterparts

Great article summarising the excellent work of #BSBIAtlas2020 volunteers over many years.
Sobering results. About half of native plant species have declined since 1987.
Shocking; yes. Surprising; no.
This is what a #biodiversity crisis looks like.
