"Creative approach Slowing down climate change is not easy. Two years ago, the American company ArkeaBio came up with a surprising solution.

What is that solution?

ArkeaBio developed a vaccine for cattle in livestock farming. The vaccine is injected into the animals’ necks and subsequently stimulates the production of specific antibodies in the saliva. These antibodies react to bacteria that produce methane in the cow’s intestines. This ensures that the cow emits less methane when defecating or passing gas. An initial measurement showed that approximately 13 percent less methane was released.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Therefore, a reduction in its emissions can slow down climate change."
