Researchers spotlight how selecting cattle for lower methane emissions could deliver long-term gains for the beef industry.

Cows are a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide and a significant driver of climate ...

Livestock production contributes between 11% and 19% of global greenhouse emissions. The largest source of these emissions is ...

Tropical seaweeds Sargassum binderi and Kappaphycus striatum show promise as ruminant feed additives to reduce methane emissions and enhance productivity. The study highlights the nutritional and ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Backed by a fresh $15-million Series A led by SOSV, Raleigh-based Hoofprint Biome has developed an enzyme-based feed additive that tackles methane emissions at the source: the cow’s stomach.
