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.
Livestock account for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with the largest portion coming from methane that cattle release when they burp.
Grazing cattle produce more methane than feedlot cattle or dairy cows because they eat more fiber from grass.
