Livestock can be climate-friendly and @ucdavisCAES researchers are helping lead the way to a more sustainable future. Findings by @ErmiasKebreab and @breannaroque show that seaweed feed additives can reduce methane emissions from cattle by as much as 82%.

Very excited to be featured in one of my absolute favorite radio shows - Science Friday. Hopefully, it will air this Friday. Details to come.. @breannaroque@AmyMQuinton@ucdavisCAES@ucanr
Kick-off moo-party for the SeaCow project in the farm at @UniNMBU 🐄Cow 6556 and her squad will soon have their meal topped with a dash seaweed! Hat off to a great bunch of 👑folks that made this happen despite lockdown🦠 Alem, @KatrineEikanger (📸 @ThePopeLab@breannaroque ++🥇
Are sustainable burgers possible? New study shows a bit of seaweed in cattle feed could reduce methane emissions from beef cattle as much as 82 percent. New paper out today @ErmiasKebreab@breannaroque@UCDavis_Egghead https://t.co/hst6zaEQEN
“We now have sound evidence that seaweed in cattle diet is effective at reducing greenhouse gases and that the efficacy does not diminish over time.”
New paper from @ErmiasKebreab, @UCDavis professor and director of @UCDavisWFC, and @breannaroque.

@Bynjammin@ErmiasKebreab@WSJ@ucdavisCAES@AmyMQuinton -Beef adaptation: https://t.co/C977CbUSI5 works to ⬇️ CH4 almost immediately but it does take cattle a while to get used to eating it... could be said with many other feeds, yes?
- ⬇️DMI could account for ⬇️CH4.
- "Methane yield" takes this into account (CH4/DMI).
@Bynjammin@ErmiasKebreab@WSJ@ucdavisCAES@AmyMQuinton - Dairy study: we fed 0.5% (⬇️3kg DMI, similar milk) & 1.0% OM (⬇️10kg DMI, ⬇️4kg milk) BUT
feed efficiency (milk/DMI) ⬆️ with https://t.co/C977Cccu6F added.
What I take from this is; cows should be fed less than 1.0% to ⬇️CH4 & maintain production
