Feeding grazing cattle seaweed cuts methane emissions by almost 40%

Seaweed is once again showing promise for making cattle farming more sustainable. A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that feeding grazing beef cattle a seaweed supplement in pellet form reduced their methane emissions by almost 40% without affecting their health or weight. The study was published today (Dec. 2) […]

Understanding how a red seaweed reduces methane emissions from cows

Methane is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and so scientists have put a lot of attention toward addressing one of the top sources: methane emissions from livestock. In other words, cow burps and flatulence are bad for the planet. Farmers add various seaweeds to cow diets as a source of protein, […]

Blood sausages and yak milk: Bronze Age cuisine of Mongolian nomads unveiled

Bronze cauldrons were used by the inhabitants of the Mongolian steppe around 2,700 years ago to process animal blood and milk. This is shown by a protein analysis of archaeological finds from this period. Scattered across the Eurasian steppe, archaeologists repeatedly come across metal cauldrons from the Bronze Age during excavations. However, it was previously […]

High H5N1 influenza levels found in mice given raw milk from infected dairy cows

Mice administered raw milk samples from dairy cows infected with H5N1 influenza experienced high virus levels in their respiratory organs and lower virus levels in other vital organs, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The results suggest that consumption of raw milk by animals poses a risk for H5N1 infection […]

Pig welfare outweighs climate concerns for consumers

Pork production is a societal concern on several fronts: antibiotics use, infectious disease, poor animal welfare and climate and environmental pressures. Even though the beef, coffee and chocolate industries are each major climate culprits, the world’s total consumption of pork emits hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 every year. But are you willing to […]

When the oceans died and life changed forever

Around 445 million years ago, Earth underwent a dramatic transformation that reshaped the future of life. In a remarkably short geological period, massive glaciers spread across the southern supercontinent Gondwana. As ice locked up water, vast shallow seas dried out, triggering an “icehouse climate” and radically altering ocean chemistry. The result was catastrophic. Roughly 85% […]
