Feed additives and enteric methane enters pop culture!
Our work with seaweed was used as a question in a US version of the game show The Chase on ABC.
And the correct answer is c. Seaweed! @breannaroque@ucdavisCAES@UCDavisEngaged@AmyMQuinton@JoanSalwen
Livestock can be climate-friendly and @ucdavisCAES researchers are helping lead the way to a more sustainable future. Findings by @ErmiasKebreab and @breannaroque show that seaweed feed additives can reduce methane emissions from cattle by as much as 82%.

Very excited to be featured in one of my absolute favorite radio shows - Science Friday. Hopefully, it will air this Friday. Details to come.. @breannaroque@AmyMQuinton@ucdavisCAES@ucanr
Kick-off moo-party for the SeaCow project in the farm at @UniNMBU 🐄Cow 6556 and her squad will soon have their meal topped with a dash seaweed! Hat off to a great bunch of 👑folks that made this happen despite lockdown🦠 Alem, @KatrineEikanger (📸 @ThePopeLab@breannaroque ++🥇

@Bynjammin@ErmiasKebreab@WSJ@ucdavisCAES@AmyMQuinton -Beef adaptation: A.tax works to ⬇️ CH4 almost immediately but it does take cattle a while to get used to eating it... could be said with many other feeds, yes?
- ⬇️DMI could account for ⬇️CH4.
- "Methane yield" takes this into account (CH4/DMI).
