All? In what respect are you calling "all" of us muppets?You are all complete fuggin muppets. You do know that don't you.

Think it was Donald Rumpsfeld.He died a while back...................Could be wrong though.Sounds like him but I was thinking about an American general or chief of defence making a speech a few years ago.
Apologies.
@Bald Rick you are a complete fuggin muppet. You do know that, don't you ?
Fugg offYou are all complete fuggin muppets. You do know that don't you.
I’m afraid you are going to have to elucidated my friend
A guy called Dave Stanley did a lot of work on this. He is a big advocate of all grass fed beef.I read somewhere that 85% of current domestic livestock methane production in USA was being produced in the USA before Europeans arrived by all the bison, elk etc that inhabited the land and were subsequently greatly reduced in number by European settlers. A scientist had calculated it by working out estimated numbers and their methane production.
You give the impression that feed additives to reduce methane as belched by cows is something to be welcomed, rather than resisted. Could you expand on your thinking.
Apologies.

Yes indeedy
We are all constantly being told that we “must do something“ to aid the planet, and that ruminants are being demonised as devil creatures belching out GHG at copious levels.
Further, this government has ordered big business to publish their plans to become carbon neutral by 2023.
Most of us will be supplying “big business” somewhere along the line
Ergo, if adding small amounts of a feed additive takes the heat off our ruminants and gives U.K. ag some kudos then I will happily give my cows a bit of weed
So a two tier industry then:
good beef, reared indoors on a controlled diet including this additive.
bad beef, reared outdoors on grass ergo no additive.
Got it.

whether you like it or not my green friend, I think you’ll find we will be “encouraged“ down this route
If its any help, the future for insect and fish farming is very bright.
I will let myself out.
You accept the premise, then, that methane belched by cows is causing climate change ? Any thoughts on the wider implications for your business in accepting that ?
So you're throwing the towel in ? Fair enough. I can't debate with a quitter.
Oh, and another thought @delilah
Thinking about the OP, would you not agree that if it comes to it, a small amount of seaweed fed to animals is better than any amount of lab grown gloop?
I am not a climate scientist so I have to accept their word that methane is a harmful GHG and that ruminants do indeed belch it out due to enteric fermentation in their gut.
