Recently commercialized cattle feed to curb global warming

Due to the nature of cows as ruminants, they produce about 200 liters of methane per day (equivalent to the power of one can of butane gas per day).

Even though they eat a lot of feed, 10% of the amount they eat is converted into methane and blown into the air.

The amount of greenhouse gases produced by beef is overwhelmingly higher than that of pigs and chickens.

To prevent this, various attempts have been made, such as research to capture methane directly from cows.

Separation of methane is so difficult that there are many difficulties, and if things continue this way, only beef will be hit with a huge carbon tax, so the price of beef will inevitably skyrocket within 10 years.

(Denmark plans to impose a carbon tax of up to 400,000 won per cow per year starting in 2035)

But in the meantime

3-NOP (Bobear 10)

appeared.

Just add a small amount of powder to the feed and feed it every day.

Methane emissions from cows can be reduced by up to 45%

Ingredients come out

(20-35% for dairy cows, 30-45% for fattening cattle) It has been verified that there is no change in meat and milk quality.

The current salary is about 75,000 to 100,000 won per cow per year, and methane can be reduced by 25 to 30 kg.

Even though the price may seem burdensome

This is a pretty good condition for subsidy payments.

In Korea, cattle feed containing 3-NOP has been approved and distributed by Nonghyup from 2024.

summary

1. The world is still engaging in various pranks to reduce greenhouse gases.

2. This time, we found a way to reduce cow poop with a click.

3. ‘

When faced with the choice of ‘Are you going to stop eating beef from next year or are you going to find a way to do it somehow?’, humans always choose the latter.
