Research efforts are underway to address the issue of methane emissions from cattle, which are a significant contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions. Gut microbes in cattle are identified as the primary source of these emissions, particularly through cow burps. Scientists at UC Davis and UC Berkeley, including the Hess Lab and the Lab of Ermias Kebreab, are exploring innovative solutions involving the microbiome to reduce methane emissions from cattle. These efforts are part of a broader initiative to combat global warming by targeting agricultural sources of greenhouse gases.

Check out this video that explains the importance and some details of the work that is currently underway at the @TheHessLab and the Lab of @ErmiasKebreab at @ucdavis and the @igisci at @UCBerkeley to reduce methane emissions from cattle. https://t.co/QpvL2MPdzJ
Animal agriculture leads to greenhouse-gas emissions. Gut microbes are the main source ā but could they also hold the solution? Watch the full video to learn how we're taking on the cow burp problem: https://t.co/F06HspALsg #microbiome #ClimateChange @ucdaviscaes https://t.co/WGK1uyWbms
