RE: Feeding Cows (& other livestock) a Little Seaweed Decreases Methane Emissions 99%!

in #sustainability8 years ago

Thanks for the comment! Seaweed has been used as feed for some livestock for a long time, so it isn't some new crazy thing mad scientists are trying out for the first time, they are just now looking at methane emissions. "Ruminant methane accounts for 4 to 5 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Seaweed, which has been used as livestock feed for thousands of years, shows promise for reducing them."

That's exciting! I've also never considered that the domestication of animals for farming could come back and bite us in the butt in such a round about way! LOL. Thank you for your time (:
