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

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 ...

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 ...

UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut energy lost as methane and boost feed ...

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, ...

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 lot of attention has been ...

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 ...

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 ...

CHANGSHA, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Can monitoring burps help fight climate change? Chinese zoologists have recently developed a system that estimates methane emissions from cattle and sheep by tracking ...

In a major advance for livestock and climate science in the region, scientists at ILRI's Mazingira Centre have directly ...
