A new study in the United Kingdom (UK) has produced curious results: daffodil extract may assist in curbing methane emissions in cattle.
Researchers from Scotland’s Rural College extracted a chemical from daffodils that was found to reduce methane emissions by up to 96% in an artificial cow’s stomach.
The researchers believe that in an on-farm scenario the extract could lower emissions in cattle by 30%. As part of a four-year project, the extract will be tested at several commercial dairy farms in the UK.
