Using AI to dramatically reduce Methane emission from cow burps

"Methane’s effect on global warming is X84 higher than CO2. Nearly 20% of global Methane emission originates from cows. Studies show that this emission can drastically be by “tuning” the cows’ digestive system. Whereas there are plenty of food-supplements available in the market that claim to offer this capability, there is currently no practical way to fit the best supplement to each herd. Therefore, current use of such supplements results in a very low efficacy. Metha.ai, founded by MIT researcher Dr. Yaniv Altshuler, uses proprietary Artificial Intelligence algorithms to offer personalized food supplement cocktails for each herd, achieving up to X3 efficacy. This is done by analyzing DNA of gut-microbiome samples taken from the cows, and results in significant emission reduction alongside a substantial increase in milk or meat yield.
