      Wzrost udziału pasz treściwych w diecie bydła do redukcji emisji gazów --- FIELD: SUBTITLE EXISTING VALUE: (Empty) SUMMARY: The agricultural document outlines strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock production, emphasizing dietary modifications and management practices. Key recommendations include: - **Pasture-based feeding** (Practice 18) and integrating **legumes or bean plants** into diets (Practice 19) to enhance nitrogen efficiency and reduce methane. - Adding **organic fatty acids or salts** (Practice 20) or **plant oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids** (Practice 24) to improve feed digestibility and lower emissions. - Increasing **ensiled feed** (e.g., corn silage, Practice 21), which can reduce methane emissions by 50% and equivalent CO₂ emissions by 1,245 kg per cow annually, though feasibility challenges exist for small or resource-limited farms. - Using **phytobiotics or plant extracts** (Practice 25) and **probiotics or prebiotics** (Practice 26) to optimise gut health and productivity. Excessive legume use risks metabolic diseases and mastitis. Economic viability varies, with some practices offsetting costs through higher productivity. Implementation is supported by genetic improvements, breeder training, and collaboration with agricultural advisors. Academic studies underpin these strategies, focusing on non-CO₂ emission reductions. The document also references a **GHG calculator tool** developed by the **Institute of Zootechnics** in Balice, Poland, accessible via a bilingual (Polish/English) platform. This resource, linked to the *National Climate Policy Development Consultation* (Ireland), aids in quantifying emission reductions. FILE CONTENT END -----
