Scientists are monitoring cows’ BURPS in the hope of breeding ‘low emission’ varieties of cattle and cutting greenhouse gas emissions Four-week trial in New Zealand is tracking methane emissions from 300 bulls Those that emit the lowest methane will be favoured for lower-methane breeding Methane (CH4) is a stronger greenhouse gas than even carbon dioxide … Read more
