Following on from my post on Monday about greenhouse gases
there has been some potential good news on the methane front.
A group of researches in the Denmark are developing a new
type of genetically modified grass which will be easier for the cows to digest.
This will therefore reduce the amount of burps cows are producing and so their
overall methane output will be reduced. This product has been given £1.6
million by Denmark’s environment and food ministry in the hope that it will
create a partial solution to our methane problems.
There have been many attempt in the pass to attempt to
develop a method to reduce the amount of methane that cows produce. There are
people currently working on a method to change the digestive system of cattle
to reduce the methane creating bacteria in their stomach along with many other
methods. Let me know what you find.
Thanks for reading!
