Study maps Nelore cattle microbiota to reduce methane emissions
Researchers at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) are studying the relationship between the genetics of Nelore cattle and the microorganisms in their guts (microbiota). Nelore cattle are the most widely raised beef breed in Brazil. The goal is to develop strategies that reduce emissions of methane—a major greenhouse gas—and improve the animals' feed efficiency.
