10 Benefits of Seaweed
Benefit #8: Decreased Gas Emissions
Cows feed a large population of people. From milk to cheese, human kind heavily depends on cows. Unfortunately, cows are one of the largest producers of methane, and too much methane is not good for our environment. The greenhouse gas traps heat in the ozone layer contributing to global warming. It is also important to note that methane is 21 times more potent at trapping heat from the sun than carbon dioxide. Making it a deadly contributor to climate issues.
This is where seaweed comes into play. Cows produce methane when releasing gas. Research has tested numerous different cow feeds that would decrease gas produced from cows. Current research has shown that adding just 2% of seaweed into cow feed reduces methane emissions by 99%. This is huge for farmers who are now being required to find ways to decrease methane production on their farms or face being shut down.
