The dairy industry is testing new ways to cut enteric methane emissions by up to 30% without reducing milk yields. Key solutions include 3-NOP feed additives for indoor cows and long-acting rumen boluses for pasture-based herds. Beyond feed, researchers are focusing on selective breeding for low-emission traits and the development of anti-methanogenic vaccines. These tools aim to lower the agricultural carbon footprint while maintaining global production capacity through new financial incentives and premium pricing for low-carbon milk.
