What are the main challenges in developing and deploying a methane-reducing vaccine for cows?

The study addresses the significant contribution of livestock to global warming, with cows producing approximately 200 pounds of methane annually. The vaccine approach offers a potential solution by directly addressing the source of methane production within the cow, unlike feed additives which have variable success and potential health concerns. The vaccine's success hinges on overcoming the challenge of antibodies effectively functioning in the rumen environment.

What are the main challenges and potential risks associated with developing and deploying a methane-reducing cow vaccine?

The study addresses the significant environmental impact of livestock methane emissions, which account for about a third of human-related methane emissions and contribute to about 30% of global warming. The vaccine's success hinges on overcoming challenges such as the rumen's unique environment and ensuring no negative impact on animal welfare or feed absorption. Successful development would offer a scalable solution compared to existing methods like feed additives.

How did the myiasis outbreak and subsequent export suspension affect the Mexican cattle industry?

This agreement, between the USDA and Mexico's Secretariat of Agriculture, establishes USDA-approved holding pens with US inspectors, mandates ivermectin treatment a week prior to crossing, and thorough animal inspections. While resuming exports, the stricter protocol slows the process, reducing income for Mexican ranchers as stated by Rogelio Soto, president of the Durango Regional Cattlemen's Union. This follows a three-month suspension costing an estimated $312 million in lost revenue.
