What We Know (& Don’t Know) About Enteric Methane Emissions

When we think about emissions from dairy and livestock emissions, cow burps are at the top of the list. Those burps release methane, a greenhouse gas with 28 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Today, we're breaking down how enteric methane is formed in the guts of ruminant livestock, and new technologies that are helping us cut emissions.

 

Listen in as Dr. Sara Place, an associate professor of feedlot systems at Colorado State University AgNext, describes how enteric methane forms and ways we can reduce emissions.
