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

The poor things can’t help it, but cows are really gassy, and that’s really bad for the planet: Microbes in their guts produce methane — a greenhouse gas up to 80 times more powerful than carbon ...

Cow flatulence can warm the planet, emitting a harmful methane gas that stays in the atmosphere and traps heat from the sun. But UC Davis researchers have a partial solution. The UC Davis study shows ...

New UC Davis research shows how red seaweed lowers methane from cows.

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

Methane is a major contributor to global heating, and cows produce a lot of it. There may, however, be a way to reduce all that gas: seaweed. On a research farm at the University of New Hampshire, ...

A new study combines drone data, satellite observations, and ground-based flux measurements to examine methane emissions from ...

A major UK trial of a controversial feed additive designed to reduce emissions of planet-warming methane gas by dairy cows has ended. Arla Foods, owner of the UK's largest dairy co-operative, is now ...

The dairy industry might not seem like a major climate villain, but it’s responsible for about 4% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, most of that from cow burps. That’s right: when ...

Illinois is a top agricultural state, generating billions of dollars annually, but even where stalks of corn and acres of soybean vastly outnumber its 400,000 head of cattle, cows raised for beef and ...
