The study aims to assess the technical feasibility and financial implications of interventions designed to reduce methane emissions from enteric fermentation in dairy cows. Selected methane-reducing feed additives and supplements will be tested under controlled conditions using respiratory head-hood chambers, as well as in designated dairy farm settings, to reflect real-world operating conditions. The assessment will focus on methane reduction performance and impacts on dairy cow productivity, including milk yield and quality. Findings from this feasibility study will provide evidence to inform the potential scalability and market applicability of these solutions in Thailand, supporting efforts to reduce methane emissions from the livestock sector.
