A big dinner or brekkie for sheep?

A study done by NZ Journal of Agricultural Research suggests that moving sheep to a new paddock in the late afternoon could reduce nitrous oxide. According to the study, 60% of the nitrogen in the animals’ urine came during the 12 hours following their big meal, and shifting sheep would result in more nitrogen entering the soil at night when it is cooler. Lead scientist, Beverly Thomson, said, soil bugs produce 10- 40% more nitrous oxide in warm conditions, thus, this would reduce the amount of nitrous oxide being produced. Read more here
