UNH scientists to study cow burps . . . and more - Thursday, Nov. 4, 2010: "DURHAM – University of New Hampshire and outside researchers are creating a computer model to help organic dairy farmers cut greenhouse gas emissions such as methane, because Beano probably isn't an option.
Nitrogen- and carbon-based greenhouse gases are produced via a complicated system at dairy farms that is affected by everything from the weather to the soil to the feed to cow burps, among other things.
'Cows emit most of their methane through belching, only a small fraction from flatulence,' said the project's principal investigator, Ruth Varner of UNH's Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space."
