Feeding Antibiotics to Farm Animals May Worsen Climate Change
2016-05-26 00:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

A study published this week finds that when cattle were fed a common antibiotic, their manure produced even more methane than normal -- a potent global warming gas. The antibiotics do this by killing off bacteria that compete with methane-producing microbes, the researchers report in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
