And they’re out! After a busy lambing period here at UCD Lyons Farm the ewes and lambs are out to pasture. Looking forward to this years grazing trial as part of the Multi4More project where I will be assessing the impact of sward type on sheep performance and methane emissions

Research supported by Germinal conducted at UCD Lyons Farm has found the benefits of multi-species extend to beef and lamb production in addition to #silage and milk production. Learn more about the findings here: bit.ly/3nN7PO0 #farming #agriculture #multispecies

A very enjoyable afternoon spent discussing a number of interesting topics related to research, sparking a lot of food for thought🌱

For this week’s episode of #OviCast, we chat to post-graduate student, Lisa McGrane, about some of the factors influencing the establishment and persistency of companion herb and legume forages in sheep swards. Listen in pod.fo/e/17c671 TeagascSheep

🌱 Exciting news! The #Multi4More plots have been sown UCD Lyons Farm as part of multi-site experiment including Teagasc Environment & AFBI sites, aiming to enhance multispecies mixtures for sustainable agriculture. Well done Seán Nagle, Helen Sheridan & Eugene!! Now 🌧️🙏🏻

A busy day UCD Lyons Farm UCD School Ag & Food measuring methane output from lambs as part of Multi4More Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine research project with colleagues from TeagascSheep and equipment developed by AgResearch as part of Rachel Connolly PhD. Paddy Mc Carron running the kit

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 Tommy Boland and the team at UCD Lyons Farm for all the help and Paddy Mc Carron TeagascSheep for providing the PAC 🐑🌱

Livestock Farmers!🧑‍🌾👨‍🌾 Do you use Multispecies Swards? Do you refuse to use them? What advice would you need to be better-informed?

Great to see this Multi4More poster at the AFBI Soil conference in Belfast today. Danielle Varley will be investigating how plant diversity and nitrogen level affect nitrous oxide emissions @CarolineBrophy5 Suzanne Higgins Shona Baker

Livestock farmers, your input matters! 🐂🐄🐑Share your thoughts on Multispecies Swards. Embrace or resist? What info would help you decide? Let us know: surveymonkey.com/r/NHW7RQS Teagasc Teagasc Environment TeagascOrganics TeagascSheep Teagasc Beef @TDairyexp

Ye know yer living in Donegal when buying Christmas trees there's a sign like this🤣.....

Asking for a favour. My nephew Oisin is a 4th year Dundalk Ag Student looking to get a short survey on farmer’s attitudes to dairy beef filled in . Only takes a minute to fill in. All responses appreciated. forms.office.com/e/RYSYi5tjdP

Delighted to have been able to present some of my work at BSAS last week. A very enjoyable and insightful conference showcasing some of the fantastic research be completed on a wide range of topics in agriculture

Lots of fantastic UCD School Ag & Food Researchers at the UCD College of Health & Agricultural Science Research Symposium today! A wonderful opportunity for Graduate students across the college to interact and present their work & showcase their excellent research. Best of luck to Rachel, Shane, Cian and Lais

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