“When cows digest food, they produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, but when kangaroos chow down, their digestive tract is relatively methane-free. The difference comes down to one group of bacteria, new research suggests.”
How will this be applied to cattle to cut down on methane generation? Also (a question I have because I don’t have access to the paper), are there energy, efficiency, or source material requirement differences between a succinate- or methane-producing bugs? There might be reasons why wallabies have one and cows have the other.
