Reducing more methane from dairy cows

A grazing dairy cow can burp up to 600 grams of methane per day. As a greenhouse gas, methane is about 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and methane emissions from cows constitute about 65% of the total dairy farm greenhouse gas emissions. Australian dairy farmers are to be congratulated for achieving 28% reduction in methane emissions per litre of milk in 2010 compared to 1980. However, a further reduction of methane emissions is required. Carbon Farming Initiative The Australian
