Cow humus is one of the best fertilizers . The litter cows often settle ants and red ants . Cow manure for fertilizer spread dung beetles . Flies lay back their eggs . In addition, chickens, cow dung opening, there are a lot of nutrients.
Methane emissions
Scientists have discovered that cows emit methane . the amount depends on the diet of the cow. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations confirmed this information. More studied this problem in the United Kingdom . The researchers concluded that each day, each of the 10 million British cows allocates approximately 100-200 liters of methane.
During the project, the researchers also looked at possible ways to reduce the cows release ammonia - another greenhouse gas . The task of scientists is to develop some new diet for cows that during their digestion generates less gas. Michael Ebertan Research Institute of Wales in Aberystuitse calls several options feed cows that are able to reduce the emissions of gas : ryegrass with a high content of sugar , white clover and lyadvyanets .
The British government has allocated for this project, which will run for three years, 750,000 pounds, which is about 1.51 million U.S. dollars. Home base studies - University of Wales Aberystuitse.
