[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1094486, member: 9267"] It's called 'efficiency' and we're researching the genetic make-up of that type of cattle here in New Zealand :D However, in the mean-time the 'powers that be' are recommending getting all cattle in houses and fed grain so that they can't pee and poop on the pasture, instead it's collected, treated to remove all nutrients, and spread on the pasture in even quantities during the appropriate weather conditions. The grain feeding is supposedly the best short term way to reduce methane emissions until we get those genetic markers sorted. Unfortunately we had a little setback with the nitrogen inhibitors (the chemical that stops the grass turning bright green after a cow urinates on it) because some brightspark thought of testing for it in milk, found traces in the milk and consequently spreading the chemical on pasture was completely banned.
