加州科學(xué)家團(tuán)隊獲得資金來研究奶牛放屁

A team of California scientists has been given $213,000 to study...cow farts.

日前，加利福尼亞州的一個科學(xué)家團(tuán)隊得到了21.3萬美元的資金，用于研究...牛放屁。

The California Department of Food and Agriculture awarded the grant to the California Dairy Research Foundation to examine methane emissions -- a major environmental threat -- at the state's dairies.

加州食品和農(nóng)業(yè)部門將這筆補助金給了加州奶業(yè)研究基金會，用于研究該州奶牛場的甲烷排放情況，甲烷排放會對環(huán)境造成嚴(yán)重威脅。

The study will be carried out in collaboration with researchers from the University of California, Davis.

這項研究將由該團(tuán)隊與來自加州大學(xué)戴維斯分校的研究人員合作進(jìn)行。

Scientists will focus on the difference in passed bovine gas from large and small dairies.

科學(xué)家們將把重點放在大型奶牛場的牛和小型奶牛場的牛排出的氣體差異上。

They'll also explore cost-saving techniques, emerging technologies and the economic impact of methane regulations.

他們還將探索成本節(jié)約技術(shù)、新興技術(shù)以及甲烷法規(guī)帶來的經(jīng)濟(jì)影響。

Descendants of Mrs. O'Leary's cow had no comment.

奧利里夫人的奶牛的后代們(奧利里夫人的奶牛曾引起火災(zāi))還沒有對此事作出評論。
