Cows whose rumen bacteria produce methane and nitrous oxide are wasting 10% of the energy value of their feed. Adding a small amount of nitrates to cattle feed changes the metabolic pathway of hydrogen to produce ammonia rather than methane, allowing the cow to absorb more of the nutrients and reducing methane and nitrous oxide production by more than 80%. Cheap nitrate additives are primarily anything with tannins or some types of seaweeds. Even adding a little edible fat or oil to their diet will reduce methane production. In any event the additives make up less than 3% of the diet. . It's really not that simple and even less practical unless you think all cows are on the same type of diet. What happens when cattle on high protein forage are given nitrate? Oops even worse green house gases than methane, and methane as well, will be produced by their sh*t
