UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut methane losses and boost feed efficiency ...

Cow flatulence can warm the planet, emitting a harmful methane gas that stays in the atmosphere and traps heat from the sun. But UC Davis researchers have a partial solution. The UC Davis study shows ...

Innovative practices — from diet additives to regenerative grazing — can offer quick wins in the fight against global rising temperatures.

Methane is a major contributor to global heating, and cows produce a lot of it. There may, however, be a way to reduce all that gas: seaweed. On a research farm at the University of New Hampshire, ...

A heifer stands inside a methane chamber at Cornell University, June 7, 2024, in Ithaca, New York. Researchers are studying how to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows. Melanie Stetson ...

The poor things can’t help it, but cows are really gassy, and that’s really bad for the planet: Microbes in their guts produce methane — a greenhouse gas up to 80 times more powerful than carbon ...

In case you haven't heard, the methane in cow burps is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay ...

A major UK trial of a controversial feed additive designed to reduce emissions of planet-warming methane gas by dairy cows has ended. Arla Foods, owner of the UK's largest dairy co-operative, is now ...

The dairy industry might not seem like a major climate villain, but it’s responsible for about 4% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, most of that from cow burps. That’s right: when ...

Whether they're for dairy or beef, cows produce a lot of methane gas. A single cow produces up to 264 pounds of methane per day, contributing to a total of 231 billion pounds of methane emitted ...

The cow’s amazing ability to sustain itself by eating nothing but grass is one of the marvels of nature, but it comes at a cost. As grass ferments in the rumen — one of four compartments in the animal ...

Scientists are trying to develop a vaccine that will reduce the amount of methane-producing microbes in cows’ stomachs The fight to reduce cow flatulence just turned nasty. Little can Arla, one of the ...
