About
Dr. Sarah Potterton is a leading researcher in sustainable livestock production, with a primary focus on quantifying and mitigating enteric methane emissions from dairy systems. Her work bridges the critical gap between controlled experimental settings and real-world commercial farm conditions. Her most impactful study, "Effect of Feeding System on Enteric Methane Emissions from Individual Dairy Cows on Commercial Farms" (2018, 8 citations), is a landmark contribution to the field. This large-scale investigation analyzed diurnal methane patterns from 830 cows across 12 commercial farms, providing unprecedented field-level data on how different feeding systems influence emission profiles. By demonstrating that feeding system significantly affects both the magnitude and daily rhythm of methane output, Dr. Potterton's research has directly informed the development of practical, farm-specific mitigation strategies. Her work is highly valued by both the academic community and the agricultural industry for its robust, on-farm methodology and its direct implications for reducing the carbon footprint of dairy production without compromising animal welfare or productivity.
