The chairman of the South Australian Farmers Federation (SAFF) livestock section, Dale Perkins, has welcomed new research into the diet of cattle aimed at reducing their methane emissions.
A Victorian scientist, Chris Grainger, says there is potential to significantly reduce the emissions by feeding the livestock by-products from other industries, such as whole cotton seeds.
Mr Perkins says he thinks local farmers will embrace the research taking place in Victoria.
