Achieving methane targets: Feed additives indispensable

Climate neutral cows. Is that possible? New insights are encouraging. Feed in particular appears to be a promising route. In a conversation with Jan Dijkstra of Wageningen UR, he shares his views: “Halving methane emissions is certainly feasible.” And feed additives are indispensable to achieve this. Can a cow become climate neutral? Not so long ago, scientists’ answer to that question was short and clear: ‘no’. Methane production in the rumen was a problem that
