Bull Burps Could Hold Answer To Breed Climate Friendly Cows

  The opportunity to breed more climate friendly cows is one step closer for New Zealand dairy farmers after a Waikato trial finds a possible link between a bulls’ genetics and the amount of methane they produce. The pilot trial, by artificial breeding companies LIC and CRV with funding from the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre, measured feed intake and methane emissions – in the form of burps – from 20 young bulls destined to father the next generation of New Zealand’s dairy cows. LIC Chief Scientist Richard Spelman says results from the pilot trial are promising. “Methane production primarily relates

Two cattle companies in New Zealand – Livestock Improvement Corporation (LIC) and CRV Ambreed – have partnered to monitor the methane emitted by bulls in a four-week trial.  Those bulls that emit the lowest methane could be used in the breeding of future generations of ultra-low emission dairy cows.  Cows, pigs and other farm animals release huge amounts of methane – a greenhouse gas – into the atmosphere through burps and farts.
