HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-02: Increasing mitigation of GHG emissions and feed efficiency through feed additives

International Project Manager at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences

Kaunas, Lithuania

About

The Large Animal Clinic of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) offers on-farm validation of feed additives under operational conditions (TRL 7) in commercial dairy and beef herds. We seek a work package lead/co-lead or task partner role in consortia under HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-02, ideally leading the work on animal health, welfare and performance.

What we bring:
– Multi-farm additive trials in commercial dairy herds (approx. 1,500–2,000 lactating cows), with and without automatic milking systems (Lely, DeLaval)
– Enteric methane measurement with laser-based detection, linked to metabolic and physiological data
– Integrated safety endpoints: continuous sensor data (smaXtec boluses, RumiWatch) plus blood and milk biomarkers as early indicators of adverse effects
– A standardised on-farm monitoring protocol that other trial sites can reuse
– Experience in on-farm validation of feed technologies, e.g. coordinating development of a feed technology prototype to prevent subacute ruminal acidosis (AUGA Tech)

Track record: 85+ Web of Science publications (45+ Q1), partner in the H2020 project HoloRuminant, a European patent application for a non-invasive ruminant monitoring system, and industry partners smaXtec, DeLaval and Brolis HerdLine.

Team: Prof. Dr. Ramūnas Antanaitis (lead), Prof. Dr. Arūnas Rutkauskas, Dr. Dovilė Malašauskienė, Dr. Mindaugas Televičius and six PhD candidates.

Contact: Jurgita Juknevičiūtė, International Project Manager, LSMU Research and Innovation Centre, on behalf of the team.
