Researchers at EMBRAPA in Brazil are mapping the microbiota of Nelore cattle to reduce methane emissions and enhance feed efficiency. This study is significant as it addresses environmental concerns related to livestock, which could influence agricultural practices in Iran. The findings may have implications for Iran's beef industry and its environmental policies.

Researchers at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) are studying the relationship between the genetics of Nelore cattle and the microorganisms in their guts (microbiota).
