These days,methane gas causes thinning of the ozone layer which allows radioactive sunrays to enter our planet which can cause health problems such as cancer towards humans and infertile of plants. Methane (CH4), which is mostly emitted when cows burp, is produced in the rumen of the cows by microbes.The average dairy cow produces about 98 kg of methane annually, with 95 per cent coming from digestion. We introduce to you our product called Grassuela which is a new invention of cow foods which introduces a way to decrease the content of methane gas in the atmosphere. Grassuela contains red seaweed which contains a chemical substance called bromoform which can neutralize the methane gas output from the stomach of cattle animals. Thus, decreasing the methane gas releases from cows.We will also include unsaturated fats which can remove H2 (hydrogen gas) away from methane production to saturate the fat (H2 sink). Producers can increase the profitability of their operation by incorporating carbohydrates in a cattle diet, increasing feed intake, processing forages and offering a diet that includes unsaturated fat.we hope to target markets are companies, industries and agricultural entrepreneur.!
