It’s time we acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: everybody burps and farts.
But amongst all animals, cows are the reigning champions. Those charming emissions contain methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Indeed, cows produce more greenhouse gases than Brazil or Germany. But an innovative startup may have found the solution.
Mootral produces a garlic-based product that farmers can mix into cow feed. It cuts methane emissions by 20 to 38% and boosts milk production by as much as 5%.
Best of all, it doesn’t hurt the cow or change the flavor of the milk or flesh. Think of it as Beano for cows.
As far-fetched as it may sound, Mootral’s product is backed by numerous peer reviewed studies. UK farmers can even get the supplement for free if they share their methane data.

Mootral isn’t the only startup tackling this pungent problem.
Blue Ocean Barns has created a seaweed-based supplement that may be even more potent than Mootral. Their product reduced methane emissions by 52% in a recent study.
A young lady I spoke with recently told me that the world is doomed because of climate change. I couldn’t disagree more.
Bit by bit, innovative scientists and companies are figuring out this problem. A feed supplement here, a wind turbine over there, and we may soon be amazed at the progress we’ve made.
What do you think of Mootral and Blue Ocean Barns? And what are the most interesting environmental technologies you’ve seen recently?
