Hva skjer egentlig i magen på kua når den produserer metan?
Når kua fordøyer gresset den spiser, produseres metangass i vommen. Men hva skjer egentlig i kumagen? Og er det noe vi kan gjøre for å redusere metanproduksjonen? NMBU-forskere er i gang med å undersøke nettopp dette.

Master students have important roles during the feeding trials.
The two master students Katrine S. Eikanger (left) and Emma Nyløy (right) have had important roles in the feeding trial. Katrine in the planning of the trial design and analysing methane, milk and performance data, and Emma in looking at the ruminating behaviour of seaweed-eating cows.
