Scientists have discovered a new biomarker for methane production in the feces of cowsScientists could have a revolutionary new way of measuring how much of the potent greenhouse gas methane is produced by cows and other ruminants, thanks to a surprising discovery in their poo.Researchers from the University of Bristol and the Teagasc Animal and Grassland Research Centre in Ireland, have found a link between methane production and levels of a compound called archaeol in the feces of several...

A recently released study from Australia's state-backed research body CSIRO may have climate researchers reconfiguring their conclusions on how harmful belching cows and gaseous sheep actually are to the atmosphere, Reuters is reporting. Ruminant livestock release large quantities of methane, which can trap 20 times more heat than CO2 alone. One cow can release about 1.5 tons of greenhouse gas emissions a year.At least half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions emanate from agriculture...

(Ivanhoe Newswire) "“ It's reassuring to know that while eating that hearty Christmas dinner and drinking a glass of wine, digestion will be slowed, but there will be no symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, belching, and bloating, according to this study.In order to determine the effects of alcohol on the digestive system when rich meals are consumed, investigators at the University Hospital of Zurich, led by Dr Mark Fox now at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham, studied 20...

Research: Effect on gastric function and symptoms of drinking wine, black tea, or schnapps with a Swiss cheese fondue: Randomized controlled crossover trialPeople can be reassured that while alcohol may slow down digestion after a rich calorific meal, enjoyed by many during the Christmas season, it will not cause indigestion symptoms such as heartburn, belching and bloating, finds research in the Christmas issue published on bmj.com today.In order to determine the effects of alcohol on the...

Australian scientists have said they are hoping to breed sheep that burp less as part of efforts to tackle climate change.The scientists have been trying to identify a genetic link that causes some sheep to belch less than others. Study leader John Groopy says twelve percent of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions originate with agriculture, and some 70 percent of that amount is blamed on ruminant livestock, with most of it coming from burps.It's a myth that most methane produced by...

In an effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions, scientists in Canada are attempting to breed cows that will burp less.Stephen Moore, professor of agricultural, food and nutritional science at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, is leading a team of scientists with the goal of pinpointing specific genes that account for a cow's burps. His study is found in the Journal of Animal Science.Cows are a major producer of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas with the 20 times the polluting strength...

A U.S. newsletter advises how to take those very healthy fish oil supplements, but avoid that fishy aftertaste. People who want the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids but don't want to eat a lot of fish often turn to supplements. The Mayo Clinic Health Letter advises putting capsules in the freezer before swallowing to avoid the fishy burp. Swallow the capsule frozen, the newsletter said. This slows the breakdown of fish oil in the stomach, often reducing fishy burps. The fish oil is still...

By Anonymous Cows may seem miniscule when it comes to a warming globe, yet a single cow can produce 550-700 liters of methane a day from belching. In the United Kingdom (UK) it has been estimated that cattle could be responsible for about 3% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. "You don't actually hear the cows burp," comments David Beever, international director of Richard Keenan & Company, Ltd., a UK manufacturer of cattle feeding systems. "But they are permanently releasing...

Researchers in Argentina claim to have come up with a unique new way to study the rumored affects of methane producing cow burps.The researchers are strapping plastic tanks to the backs of cows in order to collect their burps through a tube to the animal's stomach. Scientists say they can trap the burps and take them to a lab where the gases can be analyzed. Scientists across the globe have been working on ways to gauge the amount of methane in cow burps. Experts believe that cows' slow...
