Interesting Fact # 768 - Cow burps

According to the Guardian newspaper, German scientists have invented a pill to reduce bovine burping.

(The fist-sized pill, poor cows, known as a bolus, when combined with a special diet and strict feeding times, reduces the methane they produce. Now this might seem trivial, unless you're a cow, but according to scientific estimates, the methane gas produced by cows is responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions.)
