A pilot project is currently underway in several European countries.

The main actors in this project are individuals of cattle. In particular, we are talking about cows from Ireland, Sweden, the UK, as well as cows from Finland's agricultural assets.

In total, at least a thousand cows are participating in a research project called Rumin Omics. Working with cattle, leading world scientists carefully study the microflora in their organisms.

At this point, scientists can boast of a breakthrough discovery. So, they were able to establish that some microbes in the scars of cows can be modified. And as a result of the modification of microorganisms, it is possible to significantly reduce the volume of emissions of a gas such as methane in the process of livestock farming.

In addition, it should be noted that microbes susceptible to modification can affect the quality of milk, as well as increase the rate and volume of milk production.

In other words, if research and experiments continue further and show positive results, the global cattle population can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the damage caused to cows by the ecology and the environment of planet Earth.
