**DAFOMI** is a 5 months feasibility research programme to develop emerging solutions to secure post COVID recovery and sustainable increases in the production of milk and dairy products providing diversification opportunities for farming and employment challenged by COVID-19 and Brexit pressures.**DAFOMI** will directly address the disruption of the wider UK dairy supply chain by providing technologies to improve current protein-feed efficiency, using subproducts of the agricultural industry rich in alkaloids, and enabling future market-growth in speciality dairy products (cheese and others).**DAFOMI** will benefit farmers who rely on ruminants for their livelihoods by providing higher incomes, more plentiful, nutritious, and cheaper food, and by generating patterns of development that provide employment and benefit to rural areas while at the same time impacting positively on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.**DAFOMI** will obtain trial data validating a disruptive technology geared to boost dairy feed protein efficiency. This will reduce the carbon footprint of the sector, by reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions (currently more than 90% of the corporate dairy industry emissions are methane produced by the cows, mostly in the form of methane).**DAFOMI** approach is based on greater use of locally available **alkaloids** very specific plant-based chemicals, to improve feed and animal nutrition. **DAFOMI** targets matching ruminant production to adequate feed preparation to maximize protein feed efficiency and improve milk protein content.**DAFOMI** will improve the country's food security and provide the potential for rural job security and further employment for those losing jobs in other sectors.Preliminary **DAFOMI** data estimate that we could improve feed efficiency evaluations by 5-20%, while simultaneously reducing direct methane emissions by 30-35+%.

**DAFOMI** 是一个为期5个月的可行性研究计划，旨在开发新兴解决方案，以确保COVID后的复苏和牛奶和乳制品生产的可持续增长，为COVID-19和英国退欧压力带来的农业和就业多样化机会。DAFOMI** 将通过提供技术来提高目前的蛋白质饲料效率，使用富含生物碱的农业工业子产品，并促进未来特种乳制品（奶酪和其他）的市场增长，直接解决英国乳制品供应链的中断问题。DAFOMI** 将通过提供更高的收入、更丰富、更有营养和更便宜的食物，以及通过产生为农村地区提供就业和福利的发展模式，使依赖反刍动物谋生的农民受益，同时对减少温室气体排放产生积极影响。** DAFOMI** 将获得试验数据，验证一项旨在提高乳品饲料蛋白质效率的颠覆性技术。这将通过减少直接的温室气体排放来减少该行业的碳足迹（目前超过90%的企业乳制品行业排放量是奶牛产生的甲烷，主要是甲烷形式）。DAFOMI** 方法的基础是更多地使用当地可获得的 ** 生物碱 ** 非常具体的植物基化学品，以改善饲料和动物营养。**DAFOMI** 的目标是将反刍动物生产与充足的饲料准备相匹配，以最大限度地提高蛋白质饲料效率并提高牛奶蛋白含量。** DAFOMI** 将改善该国的粮食安全，并为农村就业保障和其他部门失业者提供进一步就业的潜力。初步 **DAFOMI** 数据估计，我们可以将饲料效率评估提高5- 20%，同时将直接甲烷排放量减少30- 35%以上。
