Irish dairy and beef sectors have the tools to tackle methane emissions Methane is an immensely challenging problem for the Irish dairy and beef sectors, but science is providing the means – mainly through new feed additives and breeding techniques – to reduce associated emissions. When ruminant animals like cattle and sheep digest food, they produce methane, a greenhouse gas 86 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. This fact is an existential threat to the dairy and cattle industries, but research breakthroughs suggest they can each pivot to a sustainable future. http://seanduke.blog/2025/03/14/irish-dairy-and-beef-sectors-have-the-tools-to-tackle-methane-emissions/
