Matthias Hess, with the UC Davis Department of Animal Science, and researchers at UC Berkeley, have identified which microbes in a cow's gut could help reduce methane. It brings them a step closer to ...
Policymakers are demanding that farmers scale back meat production, reengineer agricultural systems, and burden consumers ...

The "hydrogenobody" is an organelle inside certain microorganisms that live in a special stomach chamber in cattle, sheep and ...
In cows’ guts, ciliates contain a tiny organelle called a hydrogenobody that may drive production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
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 ...
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, ...
Cows are a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide and a significant driver of climate change. Nevada has about 435,000 cattle, including more than 30,000 dairy ...
