Cows release methane faster, but no more or less than decomposing plants. (Getty Images) This weeks question comes from Cheri Harris in Edmonton, Alberta. Cheri asks: ...

Semex, the genetics company that sold Loewith the semen, said adoption of the low-methane trait could reduce methane emissions from Canada’s dairy herd by 1.5% annually, and up to 20%-30% by 2050.

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 ...

Cattle produce huge amounts of methane - a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Now, scientists believe they may finally have a solution to this issue.

Browse here. On average one cow produces about as much greenhouse gas as one car. Cows produce methane at a rate of about 300g a day for dairy cows, 150g for beef cows. It varies with their diet.

In terms of its greenhouse gas effect, each molecule of methane is equal to about 20 to 25 molecules of CO2. Cows in their digestion emit a lot of methane; out of both ends of the animal.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and cows produce around a third of all human-related methane emissions. John Hammond, director of research at the UK’s Pirbright Institute, is developing a ...

Mid-infrared (MIR) spectral data from millions of cows were analyzed and stored over the past five years. Dr. Filippo Miglior, Lactanet’s senior advisor for genetics strategic initiatives, and a ...

Cows produce methane in two ways. The first is enteric, the methane produced through the internal digestive process and emitted when the animal passes gas. Solutions for these emissions are ...

A four-year trial is underway in the UK to determine whether feeding a compound found in daffodils to cows could reduce their production of the greenhouse gas, methane.View on euronews ...
