In Belgium from January 1, 2024 every member of the Belgian Feed Association (BFA) will use measures to limit methane emissions from cattle on Flemish farms. In 2019, the BFA decided, together with the government, researchers and chain partners from the Flemish agriculture, dairy and meat industry, to reduce methane emissions from cattle by 26 percent by 2030 compared to 2016. To this end, a strong focus was placed on developing feeding measures. The ration of Flemish cattle is therefore adjusted in such a way that the cow’s digestive process is influenced, resulting in the cow producing less methane. Livestock farmers who apply a feeding measure and incur higher costs can be partially reimbursed by the government. The Belgian Feed Association has 133 animal feed producers as members. They represent 93 percent of Belgian animal feed production.
