CGIL Seminar - Genetic Improvement of Feed Efficiency and Methane in Dairy Cattle

Hello CGIL,    

Reminder we will be having two days of seminars this week!

On Friday, October 31st, 2025, we are happy to have Dr. Rasmus Bak Stephansen, from Aarhus University, presenting for us. The seminar will begin at 1:30 PM EDT/EST on the virtual platform Microsoft Teams. The presentation title is: “Genetic Improvement of Feed Efficiency and Methane in Dairy Cattle”  

Speaker Biography: Dr. Stephensen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics at Aarhus University.  He is an agrobiologist specializing in quantitative genetics, with a strong interest in the green transition of global food production. His research focuses on developing genetic tools to improve feed efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cattle through systematic breeding. Dr. Stephensen is also a member of the ICAR working group Feed & Gas, which aims to establish global standards for recording and quality control of feed intake and gas emission data in cattle, to support accurate breeding value assessments.
