[Thematic Report] Cow farts are killing the planet!!! |

7% of the greenhouse gases produced on Earth come from our herds which quietly ruminate at the bottom of the fields!!!!!! When people think about climate change they mostly accuse human activity… What if the guilt was shared... What if cows were our accomplices? Cows are actually real gas machines. By ruminating, they produce methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes 25 times more to global warming than carbon dioxide, according to Le Parisien. Each animal produces the equivalent of a 400 km car journey each year!!! Cows graze on grass, eat corn silage and also ingest grain. Then, it is well known, they ruminate. With a very repetitive gesture, they chew for long minutes the food previously swallowed. An apparently banal gesture that can be so damaging for the environment. In order to limit these emissions, several experiments have been carried out around the world. In Argentina, breeders have dressed their cattle in a "backpack" capable of containing the gas of animals. The technique would recover nearly 300 liters of methane per animal. Converted into biofuel, this gas could power a refrigerator for a whole day, reports Inta, the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (in Spanish). The National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA) has designed a flax-based diet that reduces the methane emitted by 20%. Methane inhibitors, plant-based food additives rich in saponin, the tannins of legumes such as sainfoin, would also limit gas production. BUT…. Wait…. You can still do something so save our planet: Reduce your meat consumption! |

Hello Nour!!
I hope you are doing great!
Livestock and agriculture has been one of the major sector contributing to green house gases. Anaerobic fermentation in ruminants contributes to high amount of methane.
Thanks for sharing!
Hope to know more from you!!
GREEN CHEERS!!

Hello Nour Jennane, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for the very interesting fact about the cow's fart! It is not a very well spread fact, but methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas. Because many people eat beef these days so that more and more methane is produced by the cow! So, it can make an acceleration effect of global warming. So, we have to reduce our beef consumption to reduce methane!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!

Hello Nour,
thank you for your report about methane gas produced by cows. it reminded my previous report,i had written about it about a year gao.
you have written in details and bio fuel concept is awesome. it is more practiced in countrysides of Nepal too.

Hello Nour,
Thank yiu so much sharing such as an informative report.
Agriculture and livestock has also contributed towards global warming.
Keep writing.

Hello Nour!
Agriculture is also a sector responsible enough for global warming and specially livestock farming contributes quite more.
Thank you for a great message at last.
Keep on sharing.
Green regards,
Asmita.

Hi Nour Jennane, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.
It is very interesting that cows produce so much green house gases so that they contribute to global warming significantly. I am glad to hear that farmers have devised ways to store those gases and use them as bio-fuel. I hope more useful ways would be invented in the future.
Thank you for your report!
Please add sites that you've referred to when writing this article.
Cheers!

Greetings
I do hope everything is going well...
Ruminants like cows are responsible enough for producing green house gases and of course it needs to be controlled through diet.. I really loved the way you presented how cows are causing green house gases and ending up with effective measures..
Eagerly waiting for your more reports..
Green cheers

Cows and cattles are also responsible for green house gas emission.
Keep writing.

Hello Nour!!
I hope you are fine and doing great.
In the time of accusing human for the occurrence of emission of green house, you have presented the report that there exists some creatures which are also producing green house gases.
Thank you for presenting such an insightful report.
Such produced methane must be converted into fuel for sustaining earth health.
Keep writing and shining.
Hope to know more from you.
Warm regards,
Meena
