Farting Cows!


Garlic 'may cut cow flatulence'

Scientists in Wales tackling the impact flatulent cows and sheep have on global warming may have an answer - putting garlic in their food.

MOOOOSIVE thank you to Mr Jenkins for finding this Geographical gem! According to the BBC cows are responsible for 3% of Britain's greenhouse gas emissions. A study has found that feeding them garlic may reduce those emissions by up to 50%! And according to an amusing article in the Telegraph if you compared the methane given off by cows and the greenhouse gases big cars give out - in terms of tax we should be taxing cows £1000 a year each for their contributions to global warming!! Mooooo!
