A busy summer of conferences for the lab!
The last conference in my PhD is done! It was a great time to meet so many amazing people in the field and to exchange ideas and experiences. Looking forward to finishing the PhD back in Galway soon.

➡️ Slurry additive to cut slurry methane emissions by 80% (+locks in nutrients, cuts odour & reduces gas safety hazard) ~ farm roll out 2024 ➡️ Feed pellet to cut bovine methane by 30% (also improves performance) ~ roll out from 2024/25 Costs & detail to come @farmersjournal – at Galway, Ireland

As the world’s population grows, how do we increase food production, reduce greenhouse gas emissions & manage waste, all at once? At the Microbial Ecology Laboratory #NUI Galway, researchers are discovering how. @voflab @phosphorus_ie @Ryaninstitute bit.ly/3RQJGRj

Curious about what's happening at the VOF lab these days?? Vincent and Anna have just been featured in the #NUIGalway University magazine on how we use "Mighty Microbes" to make Irish #agriculture and waste treatment more #sustainable. Check it out! impact.nuigalway.ie/news/mig…
