using natural products should be considered with some factors: 1. the natural product sustainability, 2. the price of natural products as Feed additive, and 3. consistency in reducing rumen methane production because the methane microbial could adapt with the natural product. so I agree with Prof Kebreab, we should reduce rumen methane in a short time. we have a lot of natural products which have the potential for rumen methane reduction.
“It’s the how, not the cow.” Regenerative grazing can sequester methane and CO2 through proper management, not to mention the many other benefits. It’s great to see people innovating and developing solutions to address climate change, but there are existing approaches that can yield similar, if not better, results.
The good parts of this video are somewhat offset by the bad parts, e.g., we can reverse warming by reducing methane... because methane is destroyed in 12 years, and you're not adding anything to the atmosphere -- really? In the presence of sunlight, methane becomes CO2 -- then it's in the air for hundreds of years.

But the methane was created using CO2 in the first case. It is part of the carbon circle. No new CO2 is added, compared to methane from oil-production, mines etc, which is adding CO2 to the air when methane breaks down.
In the US, we have 95 million cattle, and 500 thousand bison. They both create the same amount of methane. 200 years ago we had 60 million bison and a few million cattle. It wasn't a problem then and it isn't now.

@@markchopping371 ok, thanks. but I meant - carbon - neutral the term is mine. I deliberately do not say CO2 -neutral and certainly not climate - neutral.

Going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford. Joseph Poore switched to a plant based diet after seeing the results of this study. Links at my channel under "About."
@@gettingnew500 Growing crops does make a negative impact on our environment. However we do need to eat something. Eating lower on the food chain by eating plants is the most environmentally sustainable. There isn't enough land to switch to 100% grass finished meat. The demand is growing for a growing population! Animal agriculture is a major cause of deforestation. "While the wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest may constitute an “international crisis,” they are hardly an accident. The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle. The practice is on the rise, encouraged by Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s populist pro-business president, who is backed by the country’s so-called “beef caucus.” While this may be business as usual for Brazil’s beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror. So, for those wondering how they could help save the rainforest, known as “the planet’s lungs” for producing about 20% of the world’s oxygen, the answer may be simple. Eat less meat."- CNN Another reason they burn the Amazon is to grow soy. "More than three-quarters (77%) of global soy is fed to livestock for meat and dairy production. Most of the rest is used for biofuels, industry or vegetable oils. Just 7% of soy is used directly for human food products such as tofu, soy milk, edamame beans, and tempeh." -Our World in Data
In the hypothetical scenario in which the entire world adopted a vegan diet the researchers estimate that our total agricultural land use would shrink from 4.1 billion hectares to 1 billion hectares. A reduction of 75%. That's equal to an area the size of North America and Brazil combined."-Our World in Data Mar 4, 2021

It is a good idea and good for the earth~

Good to know! Do you have a source for that? TH-cam doesn't allow links to anything other than other TH-cam videos, btw.

Is this a spoof?
How do they know methane needs to be reduced when cows have been here before industrialation?

Now,I feel much better about the buffalo extermination...
good
cows are carbon neutral, like humans.
