LONDON (Reuters) - Manners aside, getting cows to burp less can help
reduce global warming.

Using modern plant-breeding methods to find new diets for cows that
make them belch less is a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
scientists said on Monday.

The key is developing new varieties of food that are easier for cattle
to digest and also provide a proper balance of fiber, protein and
sugar, said Michael Abberton, a scientist at the UK-based Institute of
Grassland and Environmental Research.

You could call it unevolution if you had a mind, too.
