Enteric methane (aka cow burp) is a flashpoint in climate discussions, but few understand the biology behind it.

Ruminant physiologist Whitney Rottman breaks it down: why cattle produce methane, how it fits into the rumen’s natural system, and what this means for farmer-first abatement strategies. She’ll explore the role of microbes, key product development factors, and how to make sense of methane data in the broader conversation about livestock and climate.
