Methane Inhibitor To Be Added To Cow Feed

[pastafreak]

It's a trial on 30 farms/ supplying to 3 major supermarkets, but Arla supplies to just about every chain in the UK.

Are consumers being experimented on...alongside the cows?

It stinks !

consumers are and should be experimented on for this purpose. reducing emissions is an urgent necessity for all countries for the sake of humanity's future. don't but beef for a while if this bothers you.

all it does in inhibit the enzyme that makes CH4 out of the C and the H so the C is still there, can't see how it can work.

No one should be experimented on.  More bowing to impossible targets.

[ToraToraTora]

the issue will be what happens to the bovaer.

TBH though, what next stopping people breating out? Human kind has control of 4% of the carbon, the earth the rest. This obsession just demonstrates a species level ignorance. Every breath of most on the animal kingdom adds carbon FGS. Along with that live stock farting and breathing is nothing new.

Untitled...do you use milk, cream, various uk produced cheeses, or products that contain any of the above? Dk you have easy access to organic produce not under the giant Arla umbrella?

Apparently the testing done before this was approved was quite limited...only something like 500 cows.

In my life I've met loads of folk who would be ideal candidates to be part of that experiment.

 

Meanwhile, buy organic ?

where can I get some!

PS - I read that on average humans release gas (fart) between 20 & 30 tines day!🤣

If it reduces the number of farts my wife produces I'm buying it

if this technology works then it can easily be used across the world and remove a significant source of methane gas emissions. i don't care if people want it or not.

This Net zero nonsence needs to stop.  It's a pointless exercise as TTT points out.

It is looking more and more a scam by the day with certain people making millions.(Especially one labour donor).

Enough it enough.

 

[Old_Geezer]

They seem to be causing a lot of bovaer.

[youngmafbog]

Probabaly mpore nonsence to discourage meat eatng, the next thong they will tax to high heaven.

All I can say is bring on Jan 20 so some semblance of normality is back.

[dave50]

A socialist scam to brow beat people into doing as they're told.

08:20 "If this technology works then it can easily be used across the world and remove a significant source of methane gas emissions. i don't care if people want it or not." - yes but the C has to go somwhere, all this does is stop it being CH4, they are still farting and breathing C.

[ToraToraTora]

breathing out C

[pastafreak]

This sounds promising...
