The study determines the extent to which ration selection can reduce GHG emissions in intensive dairy production systems. Replacing corn silage with alfalfa hay as the primary roughage component of dairy rations can lead to significant declines in GHG emissions from milk production in Ontario. Due to the higher soil organic matter of perennial forages, this change leads to the capture and storage of C in farm soils. Furthermore, alfalfa production requires less farm fieldwork and chemical inputs than corn which leads to a decline in emissions from energy consumption. The results suggest that feeding decisions have important implications for GHG emissions from intensive dairy production due to the wide variation in emissions for alternative ...
