#63: How to Burp Less Methane (A Guide for Cows) with Dr Javed Khan

Imagine you're Larry the cow and you're uncontrollably burping
methane into the atmosphere each day. It's not your fault, its
all the good bacteria in your microbiome just doing their thing.
But what if eating just 50g of a little red seaweed could change
all that?

This week Heidi and Bella speak with Dr Javed Khan, the
Aquaculture Manager for CH4 in New Zealand to learn all about
Asparagopsis aramata, the little red seaweed making a big
difference. CH4's goal is for agriculture to have zero methane
emissions.

You'll learn:


What is Asparagopsis?

How can it stop the production of methane in ruminant
animals? What is a ruminant animal?

More fun facts about sea cucumbers (Bella tries to talk about
them every chance she gets)



Thanks so much for joining us Javed, we can't wait to dive with
you in NZ soon!
