New climate-controlled animal respiration stalls in CALS – the only ones currently operating in the U.S. – will allow researchers to measure, verify and monitor methane and other gas emissions from cows.

News
Methane is one of the greenhouse gasses responsible for climate change, and it is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a driver of global warming. At the same time, 14.5% of methane emissions each year come from ruminants such as cows...
