One project investigating impacts of feed additives on reducing methane emissions from the burps of beef cattle over their lifetime was allocated almost €1.5 million.
The research will look at ways of reducing methane emissions in Irish beef systems through strategic use of feed additives and early-life interventions.
The vast majority of methane - a greenhouse gas - released by cattle during digestion is by belching, rather than flatulance.
Naw vegan diets require too many unethical farming practices as well.
Clearly we just need to normalize bugs and insects as a food source!
