Scientists Aim to Cut Methane Emissions by Engineering Cow Microbiome
Aug 25, 2024, 02:58 PM
Scientists at the University of California at Davis and the Innovative Genomics Institute are working on a groundbreaking project to genetically engineer the cow microbiome. This initiative aims to address the significant contribution of cows to global methane emissions, which account for 30 percent of global warming. By using advanced genetic tools to modify the microbes in cow stomachs, researchers hope to eliminate these emissions. The success of this project could significantly reduce human-made methane sources, presenting a radical solution to reduce the environmental impact of beef production.
