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

For scientists studying climate change, belching cows are no laughing matter. Penn State researchers say they have found a way to reduce methane emissions from burping dairy cows, which constitutes 5% ...

He’s not quite as well-known as his musical counterpart, but his participation in methane gas and nutrition research is helping to further the development of biofuels at the University. Marc Anthony ...

Scientists have shown it is possible to breed cattle to reduce their methane emissions. The researchers showed that the genetics of an individual cow strongly influenced the make-up of the ...

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 is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and so scientists have put a lot of attention toward addressing one of the top sources: methane emissions from ...

The beef industry has a lot to answer for when it comes to its impacts on the climate crisis. The cows themselves, however, can’t help but contribute their own stream of methane into the atmosphere ...

Each year, a single cow can belch about 200 pounds of methane. The powerful greenhouse gas is 27 times more potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. For decades, scientists and ...

There are more than a billion cows on our planet, and they all need to burp. Just like us, they burp to get rid of extra gas in their stomachs. We can’t see this gas, but we can often hear the gas as ...

In the urgent quest for a more sustainable global food system, livestock are a mixed blessing. On the one hand, by converting fibrous plants that people can’t eat into protein-rich meat and milk, ...
