Seaweed in Cow Feed Reduces Methane Emissions Almost Entirely
May 10th, 2018Via: Food Tank:
A recent study by researchers at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, has found a certain type of Australian red algae can significantly inhibit methane emissions from cows. Led by Professor of Aquaculture Rocky De Nys, researchers found an addition of less than 2 percent dried seaweed to a cow’s diet can reduce methane emissions by 99 percent. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), an Australian federal research agency.

Good thing they’ve found a way to reduce cow farts. Otherwise, a zealous legislator somewhere is bound to get the crazy idea to tax those emissions….
