Mohammad Ramin

My primary focus has been on understanding the various factors influencing methane production in ruminants, particularly by developing and validating models that predict methane production in dairy cows. I specifically concentrate on diets fed in Northern latitudes, tailoring my research to the unique challenges presented in these regions. Currently, my primary research interest revolves around methane production in dairy cows, exploring inhibitory factors and employing advanced techniques for accurately measuring gases emitted by ruminants.

As part of my responsibilities, I am actively engaged in utilizing the GreenFeed method (C-lock) as the main measurement technique. Additionally, I explore the in vitro gas production method as an alternative approach to estimate methane production in dairy cows. Coordinating multiple studies, I integrate both the gas in vitro method and the GreenFeed system to comprehensively investigate methane emissions.

I am currently delving into the comprehensive study of feed efficiency and the optimization of feed utilization, coupled with advanced management systems, to significantly mitigate emissions from dairy cows. By focusing on feed efficiency and identifying cows that exhibit optimal efficiency, I aim to establish a long-term solution that effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions within the dairy farming industry. This multifaceted approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also contributes to sustainable and eco-friendly practices in dairy farming.

I am also involved in several grazing studies aimed at understanding the welfare and behavior of dairy cows. These studies contribute to the broader goal of promoting sustainable production practices. My commitment to advancing knowledge in methane production, inhibitory factors, and measurement techniques underscores my dedication to improving the environmental footprint of ruminant agriculture.
