Unless we start farming seaweed not sure how we can feed all the cows we eat seaweed.
To produce feed that the cows enjoy, the researchers cut a small amount of red seaweed with cattle feed and molasses. You only need to add a little seaweed to the cows' regular food.

IANA Biologist etc, but isn't the problem their gas emissions from the other end of the cow? Isn't this like some new tech eliminating all the carbon emissions from using the radio in a car, cool but not the problem?
So the clarification is "from their burps". What does it do to the greenhouse gas emissions from their farts?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
A quick search suggests that in fact the 'vast majority' of the emissions are coming out the front, not the back: https://www.greenbiz.com/article/gassy-cows-facts-about-beef...
This makes me wonder if the major source shifts to the back after the treatment.

> (https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/greenhouse-gases/...): Measurements of methane emission rates on sheep and dairy cows have repeatedly shown that the variability of emissions between individual animals is large (e.g. for young sheep grazing the same pasture, emission rates varied from 9 to 35 g/day per sheep). While this variability may one day be exploited to reduce methane release by selecting for low-emitting animals, it is not well understood.
