  1. (Buttered) Brass Tacks:
    Pasture-Raised Ruminants

    Several aspects typically missed with the "ruminants belch methane" argument:

    * The frequently cited FAO study compares apples and oranges
    * Huge differences in impact depend on the way the animals are raised and fed
    * and lots of other aspects, to be detailed in later articles

    ...and what a bathtub has to do with all of this

  9. (10/x) Fact III.8: Only 17% of animal #feed protein is converted into edible protein; even #ruminants consume much more #protein from plant-sources that are grown on arable land (suitable for human food) than they supply = net protein loss: agriculture.ec.europa.eu/farmi #foodsecurity

  18. ''Our study concludes that #European #HPAI #H5N1 isolates can replicate in #bovine WD-AECs, refuting the general assumption that #ruminants are not susceptible to infection with influenza A viruses. Our study underscores the benefit of WD-AEC cultures for the pandemic preparedness toolkit, providing a rapid assessment of the host range of an emerging pathogen.''
