Cow Burps & Seaweed: Climate Solution?

How can seaweed help cut the emissions from cattle burps? Scientists have found that by feeding cows red seaweed they can cut down on their methane production by 40%. This is because the seaweed stops the microbes in the cow’s gut from producing as much methane. This is significant because cows produce a quarter of the world’s methane emissions! Methane is a significant contributor to global climate change, so this is an important step forward for sustainability in the cattle industry.
