Dung under: Aussie example shows importance of beetles

We in the West are meat-eating, milk-drinking people, but were farmers or ranchers obliged to compensate for the carbon emissions of their herds, they would be bankrupted. 

No emission preventative has yet been found, although a Dutch company claim that preliminary tests of a cattle-feed additive reduces the front-and-rear exhalations of these useful ungulates by over 60% in cows and 35% in steers.

Any solution would significantly add to Earth’s chances of surviving climate change. There are 1.5bn head of cattle world wide, 30m in Australia alone.
