Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher Entagata. Got a minute?

The global population is now nearly 7.5 billion. And that's just humans, because our planet's also

home to 1.5 billion cows, another billion sheep, and a billion goats. Their combined belches

account for a full fifth of the world's methane emissions,

and methane's about 30 times more potent at trapping heat than CO2. But those methane emissions

might get cut by feeding the grazers something called three nitrooxy propanol. And I can tell you

they like it. No rejection at all. Mike Kinderman, an organic chemist at DSM nutritional products in

Switzerland. Liking it, in the cow world, he says, basically means they'll still gobble up their

food, even with this stuff mixed in. Kinderman's company developed the additive a few years back.

It jams up an enzyme crucial to the production of methane by microbes that live inside

the animals. And it only targets those methane belching microbes while leaving the rest of the microbiome

untouched. The result, a 30% decrease in methane emissions. The study is in the proceedings of the

National Academy of Sciences. Kinderman says he thinks the compound could be a win-win

for the planet and the animals. You know, the methane is kind of a waste product, and this energy,

instead of losing it for the animal, it can be reused for the animal in terms of performance.

And at the same time, we are doing something something for greenhouse gas emission and climate change.

The product's not on the market yet. Toxicology tests are ongoing. But the hope is that it might
