Summary:
- Feeding seaweed to grazing cattle can reduce their methane emissions by almost 40%.
- Researchers at the University of California, Davis found that adding small amounts of the red seaweed Asparagopsis to the diet of cattle can significantly lower their production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
- The study suggests that incorporating seaweed into cattle feed could be a promising strategy to mitigate the environmental impact of livestock and help address climate change.
