Cattle are responsible for nearly one-third of global anthropogenic methane emissions – a greenhouse gas that’s both potent and fast-acting. This methane predominantly originates from microorganisms in the cow’s stomach and is expelled through burping. Although cattle have positive roles – such as preserving rangelands and soil health through regenerative grazing or upcycling agricultural waste into nutrients for humans – their methane emissions pose a significant climate challenge.
Hoofprint has discovered novel enzymes that naturally prevent methane production. They are developing a probiotic that releases these enzymes in the cow’s stomach to cut methane emissions while also improving animal health and nutrition. By using a probiotic yeast, Hoofprint can offer a product that is scalable, affordable, and increases farm profitability.
Feeding cows just a mouthful of Hoofprint’s probiotic yeast could help prevent methane emissions and make cattle farming a part of the climate solution.
