A new study from USDA 's Agricultural Research Service and Iowa State University reveals that generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help expedite the search for solutions to reduce methane emissions caused by cows in animal agriculture.

The research is published in the journal Animal Frontiers .

The team of scientists found a group of compound molecules capable of inhibiting methane production in the largest of the cow's four stomach compartments.

Mohammed Sakib Noor , an ISU graduate student, is working with Chowdhury to develop the graph neural networks.
