They are a nationwide non-profit organization that provides genetic evaluations, milk recording, and advisory services to dairy farmers across Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"739\">During the collaboration, the <a href=\"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/simherd-expert\/\">SimHerd<\/a> model will be adapted to Canadian production conditions \u2013 including the milk quota system that regulates dairy production in the country. At the same time, SimHerd will be updated with the latest research on methane emissions from dairy herds \u2013 an area where Canada is particularly advanced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1034\">Lactanet will also use SimHerd in a research project aimed at advising farmers on the most effective strategies to reduce methane emissions and improve profitability. The project includes a total of 60 farms, 14 of which have installed &#8220;sniffers&#8221; in milking robots to directly measure methane.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1261\">The final outcome of the project will be a <a href=\"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/simherd-flex\/\">decision-support tool<\/a> that all agricultural advisors in Canada can use. The tool is based on the SimHerd model but will be simplified and specifically adapted to Canadian conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1456\">The goal is that from 2026, advisors and farmers \u2013 from British Columbia to Quebec \u2013 will be able to use the tool to link their herd goals directly to both economic outcomes and climate impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1527\">We are very proud and excited to support Canadian dairy production!<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-148088768\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-536134187\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_85674579\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/simherd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Lactanet.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_85674579 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SimHerd has initiated a collaboration with Canadian Lactanet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5591,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5595"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5631,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5595\/revisions\/5631"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simherd.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
