Embrapa studies rumen genetics to cut methane in Nelore cattle

Brazilian agricultural research agency Embrapa is investigating genetic and microbial factors in Nelore cattle rumen to reduce methane emissions and improve feed efficiency. The research is at an early stage, with no commercial outcomes yet. It matters because livestock methane is a major source of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions, and any breakthrough could have climate and trade implications.
