The greenhouse-gas footprint relative to output — kilograms of CO₂-equivalent (methane, nitrous oxide and fuel/fertiliser carbon) emitted per kilogram of liveweight produced.
Australian beef averages about 12.6 kg CO₂e/kg liveweight (2019 LCA, down from 13.1); efficient grass-fed southern herds run lower.
Aust. Beef Sustainability Framework ↗Because methane is lost biological energy, low intensity usually tracks an efficient herd with strong growth, tight calving and high weaning. With the industry targeting carbon neutral, it also protects market access.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Improve reproductive efficiency to reduce non-productive breeders.
Lift daily weight gains to turn stock off sooner and cut lifetime emissions.
Improve diet digestibility with legumes to lower methane per feed unit.
