Flatulent cows are to have the wind taken out of their sails by Cadbury, the food company.
The company found that milk contributed more than 60 per cent of the greenhouse gases arising from its production. Most of this came from the digestive systems of cows.
Some of its dairy farm suppliers will be asked to feed cows less grass - the worst culprit for causing wind - and more clover and maize, which produce less flatulence.
