The U.S. dairy industry wants to make the cow of the future by the year of 2020 to pass less gas and as a result prevent global warming. The cow project aims to reduce intestinal methane, the single largest component of the dairy industry's carbon footprint, said Thomas Gallagher, chief executive officer of the U.S. Dairy and Dairy Management Inc.'s Innovation Center in Rosemont, Ill. If researchers change the ration they feed to their dairy cows they found as a result that they can ultimately get the cow to produce less methane gas. After all the cows are the ones responsible for most of the methane gas produced on a dairy farm. Another way they are looking to change the methane production is to change the microbe bacteria in the cow's rumen, but there is still lots of reserach to be done. I think this is a really good idea and hopefully it will stop methane production in the future and limit global warming.

ReplyDeleteSir,stopping the production of methane is not a good idea.Every thing is produced by the Lord and The whole universe is His Creation.I think we have to research more.There is some thing to consider . In Indian History in MAHABHARATHA it is said that when Lord Krishna was having HIS past times ,THE LORD was having 16,108 palaces and HE was donating 10,054 cows from each palace.So the total number of cows donated in a day was 16,108 x 10,054.This was going on for at least 100 years .That time there was no global warming . The climate was very good.I think that an increase in the cattle population 10 kilometers away from the river beds can make the surface of the earth moistured .These millions of cattle drinking water from the river (a cow drinks 50 litres of water every day ) and passing out 50% of the water as urine will make the surface of the earth maintain the moisture so that it helps more trees and plants to exist till the next rain .This will help to balance the ground water level also . So I humbly request you not to change the design or plan of the Lord .Let us research and find out how people lived happily with out these problems like global warming etc .In the service of Lord ,
