Answer 1

Based on the information typically found in research articles about the effects of Asparagopsis armata on greenhouse gas emissions from cows, here are the likely answers to the questions:

ABSTRACT QUESTION #1: How does Asparagopsis armata help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cows?

• Correct Response: It has no effect on gas production. (This implies that the specific mechanism of reduction has not been established as causing a decrease in production).

ABSTRACT QUESTION #2: Based on the research findings, what conclusion can be drawn about the impact of Asparagopsis armata on cows' gas production?

• Correct Response: It can potentially reduce gas production. (Research suggests that Asparagopsis armata can inhibit methane production in cows).

ABSTRACT QUESTION #3: What change was observed in the cows' diet when they consumed Asparagopsis armata?

• Correct Response: they ate less food. (Studies often indicate that the inclusion of seaweeds can lead to a reduction in feed intake because of their effects on digestion and nutrient absorption).
