According to a story on the Daily Record, the “FUTURE IS ROSY FOR RESEARCH ON COWS.” This is a sweet smelling story . . .

SCIENTISTS in Scotland believe that a natural plant additive to cow feed could help save the planet. The results of secret trials may make cows – whose methane has been blamed for increasing the greenhouse effect – less flatulent. And they hope the reduced emissions – which may smell floral after cattle digest the additives – will have a threefold effect.

It could be good for the environment, improve livestock farming and cut out the use of vets’ antibiotics – following the spread of antibiotic resistance in human infections.

I did not know that “Cattle are capable of producing 500 litres of the potent greenhouse gas every day.” This story comes from MyCattle.com via Western United Dairymen.
