A new strategic partnership aims to tackle methane emissions in the dairy industry – through the use of methane-reducing “masks” for cows.
With a claimed emission reduction potential of 53%, this mask device “neutralises methane as cows exhale” – and is expected to be launched for sale to farmers from 2022 onward.
Cargill and ZELP (Zero Emission Livestock Project) have partnered to bring European dairy farmers what they describe as an “innovative solution to reduce methane emissions”.
This, they say, combines technology in methane oxidation and data processing to minimise the environmental impact of dairy production while improving animal welfare.
Enteric methane is a natural by-product of cattle digesting feed, which is then released from the mouth and nose. Using smart technology, ZELP says it developed a cattle wearable device that neutralises part of this methane as it is exhaled.

Your ears have not been deceiving you at the zoo – researchers at the German Primate Center (DPZ) – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research have found that Guinea baboons raised in different social groups grunt with their own unique accents. If they sound like they’re laughing, they’re probably grunting about YOUR accent.
A startup company called Imagindairy is using yeast to create a cow’s milk substitute with the same important nutritional values, taste, aroma, and texture of cow’s milk but without the cows and the damage to the environment. If you leave out the same nutrition, taste, aroma and texture of cow’s milk, this sounds like beer.
TORONTO A company has developed a burp-catching device for cows in hopes that the invention will help curb greenhouse gas emissions. The U.K.-based startup ZELP or Zero Emission Livestock Project claims that its burp-catching masks will help slow the spread of greenhouse gas emissions, a key component in the force of climate change. The mask is a muzzle-like contraption that monitors the percentage of methane being released by a cow. When the monitor detects an excessive amount of gas, it then converts the methane gas into water and CO2 and releases it from the device. Cattle farmers Francisco and Patricio Norris designed the device to help slow down the processes of food digestion without the interference of feed additives that are commonly used, but are also a main driver in gas in their gut.
