the next generation of cows can emit significantly less methane Within 20 years, there will be a potential boost in the fight against global warming.
Professor Mike Coffey of the Rural College of Scotland said that the selective breeding Can achieve 40% reduction in emissions.
Speaking to Sky News on Thursday (October 23), he explained: “Once you get an animal that produces less methane, it produces less methane throughout its life. And when you mate it with a bull that produces less methane, its offspring produce even less methane.”
A program called Cool Cows has already found that calves produce about 2% less methane than the previous generation.
