[QUOTE="zand, post: 2110179, member: 85197"] The problem with science is that it can 'prove' what ever it is paid to prove. The myth of cattle burps causing global warming has been debunked and was frankly ridiculous, cattle were here for many centuries before global warming. Global warming started with the industrial revolution and population growth. This morning there was a climate change scientist who was complaining about the rainforest deforestation for cattle feed i.e. soy crops when the land should be used for arable crops instead. Now soy is actually toxic to cattle - the oil destroys the enzymes in the rumen, and leads to death. Some people suffer a similar problem with soy - approx. 50% of the world populace believe but we only get stomach upsets. The deforested land is NOT suitable for arable farming. The leaf mulch and sparse vegetation on the forest floor is acidic, and normally needs to be burnt off as step 1 of reclamation process. Step 2 is to allow the land to recover as scrubland, then step 3 add ruminants and chickens to cleanse the soil and aerate it. Finally a fixing crop is grown such as soy or other oily crop such as rape or clover is grown and then ploughed in to get the nitrogen fixed into the soil and fibres into the topsoil. After many years of cattle and rotation cropping, then the land will sustain arable crops. So arable needs cattle. Cattle are a useful and economic way of reclaiming land so it is not surprising to see cattle being raised on cleared land. Edit: Cows don't currently eat soya, but 'they' are experimenting with feeding cows small amounts of it. Why on earth you would mess with an animal's natural diet, I just don't know. Well yes I do, nothing to do with global warming but everything to do with money. [URL]https://www.drovers.com/article/soybeans-may-be-viable-cattle-feed-option[/URL] [/QUOTE]
