emissions-------for cattle

legs11 · 2007-03-22 15:14:55

German scientists have developed a pill that stops cattle breaking wind. Methane emissions from cattle are responsible for 4% of harmful greenhouse gas ... so next time you drive your M3 past a field of cattle rest assured that they are (probably!) dumping (pardon the pun) more harmful gasses than your MPowered beauty....:D

So where does the gas go?

Sounds really uncomfotable for the cattle.

Clarification:

The majority of gasses emitted by cattle are not emitted out of the rear; but rather in their breathing...something to do with the multiple stomach chambers, so the only REAL way to stop it is to kill them all!!:rolleyes:
