Can Scientists Create Cows That Burp Less Methane?
- So can we create cows that belch less methane? Food scientists, geneticists, microbiologists, and animal scientists are teaming up to answer this question. Here are some of their answers.
The article from Forbes, published on January 13, 2025, discusses innovative research aimed at reducing methane emissions from cows, a significant contributor to greenhouse gases. Scientists are exploring genetic modifications and dietary changes to alter the digestive processes of cows, thereby reducing the amount of methane they produce through burping. Key points include the development of a genetically modified cow that produces less methane, the use of feed additives like seaweed which has shown to decrease methane output, and the potential environmental and economic benefits of these advancements. The article highlights the urgency of these efforts in the context of climate change, with researchers and biotech companies racing to implement scalable solutions that could significantly lower the carbon footprint of the livestock industry.
