Diet For Farting Cows.
There are 1.4 billion farting cows worldwide, each producing 500 litres of methane per day, which accounts for 14% of all emissions of the climate warming gas, while in Scotland, cows produce 46% of all methane emissions.
Now scientists in Aberdeen have developed a diet that has reduced flatulence in cows by 70%. This could have a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions while being more profitable for farmers, as the production of the gas means 10% of cattle feed is presently wasted.
The diet, which is a mixture of organic sugars and a bacterium used as an additive, is now undergoing a 12 month commercial and scientific evaluation.
Anything similar to reduce the worldwide flatulence of windbag politicians by 70%?
