John is currently based in Grange and is working on the Teagasc funded Beef-Growth project. Reducing the national average finishing age of the prime beef cattle population has been identified as one of the pivotal greenhouse gas mitigation strategies for the Irish agricultural sector.
A key focus of the Beef-Growth project is a large scale on farm study, aimed at identifying the predominant animal nutrition, health and on-farm environmental factors, across a variety of suckler beef systems, presently constraining the lifetime live weight gain and subsequent finishing age of cattle on commercial beef farms.
