BROOKINGS, S.D. -- Researchers are using new genetic tools to better understand the relationship between ruminant's gut micro-organisms and their hosts. "Many rumen organisms don't grow well in ...
UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut methane losses and boost feed efficiency ...
Each year, a single cow can belch about 200 pounds of methane. The powerful greenhouse gas is 27 times more potent at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. For decades, scientists and ...
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane. A microbial culture developed from the kangaroo feces inhibited methane production in ...
Supplementing the feed of dairy cattle with enzymes from two funguses simultaneously has a positive effect on the animals’ lactational performance, according to Penn State researchers, who studied the ...

How Cows Digest Grass with Their Four-Stomach System
Cows, along with sheep, goats, deer, antelope, bison, buffalo, moose, elk, and reindeer, are all ruminants. These are mammals with four compartments in their digestive system that let them re-chew and ...
Whether they're for dairy or beef, cows produce a lot of methane gas. A single cow produces up to 264 pounds of methane per day, contributing to a total of 231 billion pounds of methane emitted ...
