Welsh Scientists Teach Sheep How To Reduce Their Planet Destroying Burps


Research carried out by academics from Aberystwyth University in conjunction with Compton Group, an SME based in Swansea, has resulted in a discovery which could lead both to an improvement in milk and meat production and to a significant reduction in methane emissions from cattle and sheep.

The research team, led by Professor Jamie Newbold of Aberystwyth University, found that by adding sandalwood (or a sandalwood analogue) to animal feed the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as E.coli and Listeria in the rumen is reduced. As a consequence, energy which would otherwise be lost through the production of methane is diverted to increased milk and meat production.
