Could intensive indoor dairy farms help to save the environment?
Jon Moorby of the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research at the University of Aberystwyth believes that intensive indoor dairy farms are more climate friendly than their outdoor brethren, the Livejournal reports.
"In general, intensive dairy farms are actually quite good for the environment, because it allows us to control what we do with what comes out of the cow much better than in a more extensive system," he says.
"With the animals being inside all the time, it allows us to control the manure and slurries from them much better than we can when they're outside."

The online Calling All Rachels campaign, fronted by glamorous television presenter Rachel de Thame, is a world away from the modest beginnings of a company which hit the big time almost by accident when its owners began selling products locally having been snowed in on their farm during the winter of 1982, the icWales reports.

Fantasy Farm Park is to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a gig by The Wurzels.
Fantasy Farm Park started trading from a wooden stable block with initial capital of £150,000. Five years later the family invested a similar sum in a new visitor centre which includes a shop and restaurant, the Daily Post reports.
Mr Alban said: "We're delighted to see so many regular visitors, and have this year sold a record number of season tickets."
Last year visitor numbers exceeded 25,000 and the aim now is to increase numbers by 20% annually over the next five years.

Scientists at Aberystwyth University have created an robotic boat using the power for the wind to travel the seas. The boat named 'Pinta' will join seven other boats in an race to cross the Atlantic Ocean, this could set a new record in robotics as being the first boat to cross the ocean using wind power alone, the Times of London reports.
If successful it is hoped these robotic boats will be able to carry out automated tasks such as sampling expeditions to collect data for scientists to study, other enviromental tasks could involve climate change, weather and the chemistry of the oceans.
Mark Neal, of Aberystwyth University, said: "This is the first time anybody has attempted to sail across any ocean with an automated boat. The big issue in robotics at the moment is longevity and flexibility in a complicated environment."
"Something that can survive for two to three months completely unassisted while doing something interesting is a major challenge. If it does get there I will be seriously cheerful. It will open up all the oceans to environmental monitoring by robots."

The merging of the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER) with the Aberystwyth University will see the new Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) take "Profitable Farming with a Greener Future" as its main theme at the Grassland and Muck 2008 event.
Breeding programmes of forage grasses and clovers at IBERS are focused on the need to increase the efficiency of grassland agriculture. The main exhibit at Grassland and Muck 2008 will look at ‘Food and Fuel’ and show grassland farmers that livestock farming and growing crops for biofuel can co-exist and provide them with an extra source of revenue.
"IBERS will be providing information on its research outputs, with particular reference to the food or fuel conundrum" said IBERS Agriculture Outreach Manager, Dave Davies, as he and the IBERS team look forward to the event to be held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd May.
"The IBERS exhibit will show how grassland can provide both feed for ruminants and feed for fermentations that lead to biofuel or biorenewable replacements for the petrol chemicals industry".
IBERS, in collaboration with a range of partners, is looking at the feasibility of using perennial ryegrass for ethanol production. This could be a potential new source of income for farmers, without causing conflict with the food industry. Above all else, it could give greater flexibility for grassland farmers.
Another option, of course, can be growing biomass products such as short rotation coppiced willow and miscanthus, but researchinto the production of renewable ethanol at IBERS could also revolutionise grassland farming in the UK.
Scientists will be on hand to outline the contribution that biomass can play in reducing carbon emissions and meeting our future energy, heat and electricity, and industrial material needs in a sustainable way.
"The ambitious targets for reduction of CO2 emissions suggest that bioenergy crops are currently the only realistic option, and, in the greater part of the UK, that could mean focusing on grassland areas," said Dr Iain Donnison, Leader of the Bioenergy and BioRenewables Programme at IBERS.
"Whilst much of the previous research in the field of renewable ethanol has focused on fermenting starch from maize, perennial ryegrass would be a better option for the UK because it can be grown on land that’s unsuitable for other crops and so does not tie up areas that are needed for food production or animal feed production," he added.
Scientists from the Institute’s Grassland Development Centre will be available to highlight the high sugar varieties of ryegrass and forage legumes, which also reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emmisions.
"Work on genetic improvements of perennial ryegrass and red clover to reduce nitrogen losses to water from pastures and silo features prominently, as does making the most of natural manures," said IBERS plant breeding and genetics specialist, Mike Abberton.
"Increasing the efficiency of rumen processes can lead to reduced emissions to the atmosphere of ammonia and the powerful greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide," according to Senior Extension Officer, Heather McCalman. "Animal manures can also play a vital role on the farm because they contain valuable plant nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, sulphur and phosphorus. It makes sound economic sense to conserve and exploit these nutrients rather than letting them go to waste and running the risks of air and water pollution."
"There will also be the opportunity to investigate the potential value to farmers of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Agriculture and Environmental mapping. Scientists at Aberystwyth University have joined forces with Boeing, Qinetiq, and the Welsh Assembly Government to develop a project which involves flying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with a three metre wingspan over field plots, and collecting information from a range of sensors, concentrating on the use of hyperspectral cameras.
A full-scale UAV will feature prominently on the IBERS stand. The technology can be used to monitor biodiversity of grass swards, for early warning of crop disease, to estimate fertiliser requirements, and with other possibilities such as drought monitoring and pollution control.
"The key focus is to give grassland farmers more options in a changing world and show how grasslands in the future could provide both food and fuel," said Dave Davies.
