Microbiome driven breeding

Work is going on as @TimW says on sheep and cattle around the world.
One of the most effective ways of reducing methane is to change diets. Feeding sea weed has been shown to reduce methane by up to 30% in cattle diets.
There are also a number of other methods, including increasing the amount of oxygen in water.
However the changes in livestock are insignificant as the main issue is over population and the relentless levels of fossil fuels being burnt!
My son was playing football up in Edinburgh yesterday, under the airport flightpath. Another jet coming in every 15 minutes. But no, it's my fat, dumpy, hairy cows that are causing the problem :scratchhead:

Unintended consequences would be what would worry me. Feed conversion efficiency more important for those finishing on an intensive diet than converting green Ayrshire grass into delicious beef.

@yellowbelly I haven't made a tinfoil hat either but I have my suspicions. No sterimatic stuff now, vaccines difficult to source, constant criticism in the press etc etc. Watching Clarkson's Farm last night and it made me despair of what this country in particular has become.
You don't need to form a theory about the conspiracy to recognise a conspiracy. If there is a plan to phase out livestock and private property ownership then any information is likely relevant, even if the information suggests leaders and experts don't know goatshit from dried dates

At least then you know it's a waste of your time debating "the finer points"
