A single cow can produce up to 264 pounds of methane per year; livestock emissions alone account for about 30% of man-made methane emissions. While experts are clear that the best way to cut ...

Discover the incredible journey of Hilda, the cow revolutionizing climate change! For years, the cattle industry faced criticism for its methane emissions, but the narrative is changing. Hilda, bred ...

So far, studies have shown that seaweed amendments to cattle feed can cut methane emissions by over 80% when fed to cattle in feedlots, and over 50% in dairy cows.

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 ...

With the big concern today (whether valid or not) and the movement to reduce methane gas production and other greenhouse gases as a way to combat so-called climate change, a ...

To curb those emissions, the beef and dairy industries have bet big on something called feed additives — the idea that feeding cows something new could make their burps contain less methane.

Feeding one tablespoon of Bovaer per lactating dairy cow per day can reduce methane emissions about 30%, or about 1.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, while creating ...

The methane emitted by burping cows, sheep, goats and other livestock does more short-term damage to the climate than the world’s passenger vehicles, by some estimates. A Boston-based startup ...

House Bill 1630 (HB 1630) mandates that dairy farms and feedlots report their annual methane emissions — a lot produced from cow burps and farts — to the state’s Department of Ecology.

A University of Wisconsin-Madison paper detailed ways to accurately measure cow methane emissions. They include placing cows in a sealed respiration chamber, collecting and analyzing gas samples ...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and cows are a major source of it. A group of scientists is developing a proof of concept for a vaccine that would curb methane emissions in cattle.
