Scientists develop breakthrough vaccine that could transform how we produce meat and dairy: 'There's scientific literature that suggests it can work'

Efforts to curb the methane emissions from cows and other ruminant livestock are ongoing, but one group believes a vaccine may be the answer and is investing in a three-year study to explore its potential. Cows love to munch on grass, but their digestive process ferments the feed in their rumen — one of their four stomach compartments — and releases planet-warming methane as a byproduct.  Researchers at the United Kingdom's Pirbright Institute —…
