Cows eat a lot of fiber, and digesting fiber leads to a build up of methane in their stomachs. The problem lies in that much of the fiber that cows eat comes from grasses, hay, and low-cost food ...

Cow burps are a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that heats up the planet more than 80 times faster than CO2 when it’s first released. But a new enzyme—from a startup that ...

Researchers are exploring a new way to feed dairy cows that could help cut down on methane emissions while improving digestion. The new feed supplement, made from flaxseed and pea protein, may ...

Belching – not flatulence – is the major cause of methane produced by the world’s cows and a Seattle-based company has just won $1.5 million to test a product to make cows burp less. Both ...

Methane emissions from Canadian dairy cows vary widely, from 250 to 750 grams per day, said Christine Baes, professor of animal biosciences at University of Guelph, who worked on the project.

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 ...

Methane emissions were cut by almost 40 percent in grazing cattle who ate seaweed pellets. Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.

Reducing our methane emissions is crucial to global health. In the US, agriculture accounts for 25 percent of all methane emissions, with cattle making up more than 85 percent of those emissions. On ...

When compared with the controls, the algae-dining cattle showed an average 37.7% decline in methane emissions—meaning the seaweed could curb the emissions of these greenhouse gas intensive ...

Sealing manure ponds at a Central Valley farm led to a significant reduction in emissions. A large, balloon-like tarp covers ...

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 ...

California’s dairies are nearly halfway to an ambitious 2030 goal for methane reduction. But that’s in part thanks to cows, and their methane, “leaking” into other states.
