Moooo-ve Over Global Warming
We know this sounds a little silly, but it is true!
The average dairy cow burps 100 to 200 liters of methane a day! That is a lot of gas contributing to the greenhouse gas emissions. A UK based environmental research company, Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research, is working to develop new diets for cows.
The new diet aims to reduce the burps of cows using new plant-breeding methods to develop foods that are easier for the cows to digest. Agriculture is responsible for about 7% of UK greenhouse gas emissions and a large proportion of two of the most potent gases with 37% of methane and 67% of nitrous oxide.
Here’s hoping the cows’ new food allows them greener manners!
