Study maps Nelore cattle microbiota to reduce methane emissions
Researchers at EMBRAPA are investigating the connection between Nelore cattle genetics and their gut microbiota. This study aims to identify ways to lower methane emissions from these cattle, which account for a significant portion of Brazil's beef production. The project also seeks to enhance feed efficiency in Nelore cattle.
Why it's good news: Reducing methane emissions can contribute to mitigating climate change.
Environment stories track ecosystems recovering, species rebounding, clean energy milestones, and conservation wins. Climate news is included when the story centers on measurable progress rather than projections of future damage. We believe tracking what is working is as important as tracking what is not.
