This is particularly due to the presence of methanogens (microbes that produce methane) in their digestive systems. Considering methane has a global warming potential (GWP) approximately 21 times greater than carbon dioxide, […]

Well, recent "discoveries" reveal the fact that a well-managed cow could actually help reduce methane emissions.
