Abstract |
The EU-FP7 project AnimalChange (AN Integration of Mitigation and Adaptation options for sustainable Livestock production under climate CHANGE, http://www.animalchange.eu, 2011-2015) addresses mitigation and adaptation options and provides scientific guidance for their integration in sustainable development pathways for livestock production under climate change in Europe, Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. The project provides insights, innovations, tools and models for livestock production incorporating socio-economic and environmental (particularly GHG emission) variables. Scenario studies are carried out at scales ranging from animal and pasture, to farm and to region, for given management options. A wide range of livestock production systems is included in the project. The core analytical spine of the project is a series of coupled biophysical and socio-economic models combined with experimentation. This allows exploring future scenarios for the livestock sector under baseline and atmospheric CO2 stabilization scenarios. These scenarios are first constructed and then elaborated and enriched by breakthrough mitigation and adaptation options at field and animal scales, integrated and evaluated at farm scale and finally used to assess policy options and their socio-economic consequences. The modelling results are useful for governments, agricultural and food industry and the agricultural sector (farmers). There are many synergies between the European activities of AnimalChange and those of the LiveM theme of MACSUR, in particular with respect to access to livestock production datasets, dialogue with stakeholders and comparison and integration of grassland and livestock models with crop and socio-economic models in pilot studies at a variety of scales. |

Abstract |
MACSUR provides an opportunity to connect disparate research groups and disciplines in livestock and grassland modelling. Within the livestock theme (LiveM) of MACSUR, grassland modelling capabilities have been significantly improved through joint modelling exercises, and grassland modellers have exploited their methodological overlaps with CropM to make important contributions to regional pilot studies. Animal health researchers have been contributing to the southern regional pilot, and modelling resources have been identified for livestock systems at the animal and farm-scales. Here, the priorities for the next steps for livestock and grassland modelling are discussed, and for the role of MACSUR in addressing the challenges facing the sector. While crop and grassland modelling deals with primary production, livestock modelling examines the complexity of secondary production. The unique position of livestock modelling presents challenges and opportunities. The diversity of livestock models (in scale and approach) makes model inter-comparisons and collaborative work challenging, while the range of variables involved in livestock systems provide many opportunities for increasing systemic efficiency and robustness to the impacts of climate change. Closer integration of experimental research and modelling teams also has the potential to increase the capability of livestock and grassland models to predict the impact of European adaptation strategies on livestock farming systems, and on the contribution of these systems to global food security. |

Abstract |
The animal science sector has seen a proliferation of potential mitigation strategies, aimed at tackling emissions from enteric fermentation in ruminant livestock production. By bringing together data from studies on the many mitigation options available through a structured meta-analytical approach, it is possible to evaluate the overall mitigation potential for these broad strategies as well as exploring the many factors influencing the potential of CH4 mitigation strategies. Such quantification of the different mitigation strategies will allow for better estimation of mitigation potential on different levels (animal, farm and sector scale) in modelling efforts. Also quantification is important to determine the strategies that show the best potential in lowering methane emissions and hence can be instrumental in policy recommendations. A database has been established through an initial extensive structured search of published literature on the topic. For each relevant paper identified, a range of meta-data have been extracted including information on the study design, mitigation strategy, animal husbandry, diet and methane emissions. By creating a database with multiple levels of moderator coding, we have provided a flexible platform for future meta-analyses at many levels of aggregation. Studies can then in future be aggregated at the level most appropriate for specific modelling or policy recommendations. This comprehensive database is being made available on-line through a user-friendly web interface. The web-site provides a facility for open access to the database, as well as future updates of the database as more research is published on the topic. |
