Make cattle stop farting , seriously

Wait for it. Uncle Susan and their Tree Hugger pocket liners will soon be legislating that beef producers feed cattle a fart reducing chemical to reduce green house gasses.

When will the push start to demand that 8 Billion Humans be forced to take a pill daily to reduce Human farts?

The natural decomposition of plant material produces about 100,000,000,000 times more methane than cattle.

Oh my, what will the Vegans do ?

They've lost their minds. It's almost time for the adults to take control again.

There are times when I could use a pill like that!

feed em beans

hey brandon, pull my finger!

he tsa has a new mandate.

they report you to the authorities for appropriate punishment.

You ain’t lyin

It's called Beano. Works pretty good.

Next thing will be permits for cooking a pot of beans!!!

There is at least 1 town in Germany and 1 in the USA that has been using cow/horse manure/methane as biomass fuel. This additive might affect those towns?

put a few slices of an apple in them, cuts way down on the gas.

I surround the beans with chili

This must be a Kali thing

What could possibly go wrong with adding more chemicals to the the food of our food?

I think I read that cow farts directly affect the quality of beef. The more a cow farts, the better the beef quality. Cows that have a problem farting produce really poor quality beef. Look it up.

Outlaw beans

you pull your own finger afterward?

I've farted at least 20 times since my last post.

This thread is bull [censored]

No way I am Googling that!!!

8 billion people. 1 billion head of cattle globally. Roughly the same biomass, but cattle produce 240 times as much methane as humans.

The "chemical" is a 1% addition of seaweed to their diet, which reduces methane release by 60%.

The seaweed doesn't affect the taste of milk or meat and at production scale could be cheaper than the 1% of standard feed it would displace.

I have no idea how big of a deal cattle farts are for the climate, but the whole thing might not be as crazy as it sounds initially. You hate to have any more dang laws though.

Just in case you wondering how they measure cow farts.

My guess it took an Engineer to rig up the cow fart monitor and equipment to capture data.

Just think, send your kid off to collage to get an Engineering degree in cow fart monitoring!!!

You do realize I was kidding.

Sometimes I wonder about people

Bovaer® is the additive that has been approved as being safe for cows. I wonder if the approving folks are the same ones that said the vaccines were safe and effective against Covid? I wonder what the long term affects are to the cow's and their offspring? Can the dairy cows still sent to the saluter houses after they are threw being milk cows?
Lots of unanswered questions about adding more chemicals to our food sources.

Turn them cows into cheeseburgers and steaks and the farts will stop.

Feel free to contact me for more climate saving advice.

Really why can't they breed the farts out ?

I used to care but I take a pill for that now.

Being an old, I try to see how loud I can get them without getting wet.

Yeah, and why pays for the product to give the cows? ME as a producer and YOU when cost of beef and milk goes up.

My dog farts a lot worse than those cows. She can make the paint peel off the walls. And it just hovers in the room. The cows are outside not bothering anybody.

I had a college roommate that could clear rooms after eating pork. They were so bad that sometimes they lingered for hours.

And now a lecture from humanities last hope.

For sure. But taste of the milk and meat does matter. If some product lowered emissions but made cattle products less desirable that would be an issue.

Seaweed seems like it could be golden solution. Cheap, effective, no impact on finished product.

Harvesting seaweed will affect the ocean.

Dried Cow Patties are great starting a fire.....

My weenie dog, Amos, has some of awful smelling farts.....burns my eyes bro...

I'm no seaweed scientist. So this is actually legit curiosity.
If we're told that eating too much fish is bad because of Mercury levels in the ocean. Wouldn't feeding seaweed to cattle cause Mercury poisoning in the animals? Wouldn't that transfer into.the meat/milk? Yeah yeah small amounts. Blah blah blah. Small amounts could build up.to large amounts of Mercury.

I have no clue. Not a seaweed expert either. I read one article on the seaweed cow fart subject. I would think it wouldn't be much of an issue because we are only talking 1% of their diet and most cattle don't live very long. Who knows though, could be a concern.
