A new study has revealed that cows emit more methane than previously thought. Researchers from the University of California, Davis, conducted a study which showed that cows emit more than double the amount of methane than earlier estimates had suggested. This new finding has implications for climate change, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. The research team used a novel method to measure the methane emissions of cows, which allowed them to accurately measure the amount of methane emitted by each individual cow. The results of this study demonstrate that in order to reduce methane emissions from cows, more effective measures need to be taken to reduce the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere.
