News: With Sustainable Practices, New York Dairy Farms Lower Emissions
Evaluation Summary: Nitrogen Fixation Technology by Plasma Injection
The Dairy Conservation Navigator is an online platform that consolidates science-based information about dairy conservation topics and the practices and technologies that reduce a farm’s environmental footprint. Created by the U.S. Dairy Checkoff, the platform simplifies complex sustainability topics by sharing educational materials and technical insights.
A recent study from Cornell University found that emission intensities of New York dairies were among the lowest per gallon of milk both nationally and continentally. Key factors driving these lower emissions are the widespread use of manure over commercial fertilizers and the expansive production of high-quality, homegrown feed.
Newtrient evaluated the performance of the N2 Applied nitrogen fixation technology by plasma injection, focusing on its ability to enhance nitrogen content in dairy manure for improved water quality, as well as its potential to reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions.
