The greenhouse-gas footprint relative to output — kilograms of CO₂-equivalent (mostly methane from the rumen, plus nitrous oxide and energy) emitted per litre of milk produced.
Australian dairy averages roughly 0.9–1.1 kg CO₂e per litre of milk; efficient herds sit lower as productivity lifts.
Dairy Australia · Climate ↗Because methane is lost feed energy, low intensity usually goes hand-in-hand with an efficient, productive herd. With processors setting emissions targets, it increasingly protects market access and price.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Lift milk per cow and per hectare so emissions are spread over more litres.
Improve herd fertility and longevity to cut unproductive animals.
Improve feed quality and consider proven methane-reducing feed additives.
