As someone who has been raising dairy goats for 41 years, I must wonder how interfering with rumination could be safe for cattle and ruminants in general. These animals have a multi-chambered stomach, one chamber being the rumen which acts as a fermentation vat. Interfere with activity in the rumen and you run the risk of bloat, scours and other disorders that will require immediate intervention in order to save the animal, and even then the animal may still die. Likewise, altering the microbiome in the rumen may reduce the availability of nutrients to these animals and lead to deficiencies. This is not something I would feed to my goats.
As for the claim that "Most ruminant methane emissions come from Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)", while I support regenerative agriculture I question the validity of this statement, especially in light of several studies over the last twenty years that suggest some 75% of so-called "greenhouse" gases attributed to ruminant livestock and 56% of "greenhouse" gases attributed to monogastrics (pigs and poultry) comes from animals owned by some of the poorest people on the planet, meaning pastoralists and small land holders. (For the record, I'm also skeptical in regards to the climate change narrative.)
Yes! Completely agree. We don’t know the impact of interfering with these animals’ digestive systems! Just changing feed too quickly on a ruminant can cause dire consequences.
Please, don't believe the "climate change" BS. I no longer have the links, but "The truth is out there."
Our beautiful little planet is not a static system. As we move around the solar system things change and we change with them. Our climate cycles between hot/warmer and cold/cooler on a long term regular basis. We're supposed to be coming into the cooler cycle in a few years.
Sign petitions or do what you can to help prevent them murdering us off.
The climate may indeed in the fullness of time change in a manner that will consume us. But it is not our doing and it is hubris to think we can stop it any more than we can stop a moon sized meteor.
Turns out we are NOT that immortal or special when it comes to the physics and plans of the universe. Time would be better spent accepting our place in the scheme of things and preparing for any eventuality INCLIDING annihilation by a remorseless uncaring universe
As long as cattle are paid for by the pound that is unlikely to happen.
BUT! IMO (in my opinion) what is more likely to happen is they change the pay protocol. Perhaps they'll want you to pay for the cow based on it's fraudulent digital carbon footprint. The lower the footprint the higher the price per pound.
BRING ON THE BOVINE OZEMPIC
Since mass murder (for profit or for fun) is on the table you there is no lunacy OFF the table. So you can dream up any scenario and the more lunatic it is the more likely it could happen
Because another principle is normalize lunacy
Think about the things you witness every day and have been trained on threat of great punishment to ignore. The normalization of lunacy is progressing nicely
Heard it on a Michael Crichton interview (which I haven't been able to find) but not sure if he was the original purveyor of the thought
Paraphrasing
The lower (more fundamental) the interference the greater the impact
IE (for example) if you come up with something that messes up photosynthesis at the cellular level, perhaps just interrupt an enzyme reaction or something, that silly little thing could be the whole ball game because ultimately almost all life is dependent on photosynthesis
So it is real cowboy doomsday stuff when these psychopaths start messing with ruminant digestion-composting-fermentation processes. How long before some nut gets the idea to sprinkle it on forest floors, because you know, global warming, AND PROFIT. I'm sure bugs similar to what you find in a cow's gut break down bio mass in your compost pile.
I would say they could nuke the whole mammalian ecosystem "accidently" doing such things. I no longer believe in "accidently" any more than I believe the covid fiasco was a "accidental" lab leak, ... or if it was even a lab leak at all. We're dealing with lunatics that are missing critical brain parts that allow them to make judgements that say "ah, perhaps we should NOT be messing with ruminant digestion"
Kill off a few invisible but essential silly little bugs that no one even knows exist and that could be the ball game for much of humanity's protein food supply
And no one would know the difference meaning the perpetrators get off free AS USUAL. Rather than realizing it was a planned and well funded genocide using their own extorted dollars the target populations would be thinking "the God's have abandoned us"
We would end up worshipping our enemies in a misguided belief that they are going to help us, never fully realizing THEY planned and funded the existentially important biome die off.

So you won't be feeding it to your goats either!

Agreed!
Next, they will give ozempic to cows who are overweight .. the pharma gears are always turning for the constant profit…

Exactly!
Also, regarding those "bugs", roughly 50% of a ruminant's protein intake comes from the microorganisms that live and die in their rumen.

Especially when we literally depend on that pathway, to create foods that contribute to our biologicalit metabolic pathways.😐🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️
