This 2-day workshop will be held at Ellinbank on Wednesday 10th February 2016 and Thursday 11th February 2016.
This will be a "hands-on" workshop and will be suitable for researchers wanting to use this technique to measure methane emissions from ruminants. The workshop will be open to a maximum of 30 people, so prospective participants are encouraged to register their expression of interest as soon as possible.
Cost: $200.00 per person
Please note you will have to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, and car hire is advisable.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have experience in the implementation of the modified SF6 technique as described by Deighton et al. (2014) Animal Feed Science and Technology 197, 47-63
Workshop 2
Measurement of methane emissions from ruminants by respiration chambers
This one-day workshop will be held at Ellinbank on Friday 12th February 2016.
This will be a "hands-on" workshop and will be suitable for researchers wanting to use chambers/calorimeters for measuring methane emissions from ruminants. The workshop will be open to a maximum of 30 people, so prospective participants are encouraged to register their expression of interest as soon as possible.
Cost: $100.00 per person
Please note you will have to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, and car hire is advisable.
