Sheep can neutralize TNT by explosive digestion
Scientists headed by Craig Murray of Oregon State University (USA) have been studying bacteria that can digest sheep's cellulose, thereby helping to quickly transform TNT into harmless substances.
There is a phenomenon that we notice is that if a cow mistook a weed "dog blade grass," it might die. However, for sheep, it is perfectly safe.
This is because the sheep's stomach has a wonderful bacterium. Not only can this bacterium digest cellulose, but it can also dissolve toxins, thereby securing life.
Based on the above findings, scientists from 2004, led by Craig Murray of Oregon State University (USA), have been studying bacteria that can digest cellulose, thereby helping to quickly metabolize. TNT is harmless.

Furthermore, scientist Craig Murray collaborated with scientists from the US Department of Agriculture to continue experimenting by feeding sheep a certain amount of TNT. After 3 weeks, the scientists discovered that TNT was completely dissolved, in which sheep's remains did not see traces of TNT or any related substance.
Based on the results of the experiment, the scientists plan to plant grass on the ground contaminated with TNT in order to absorb spilled explosives. Then release the sheep for them to eat.
And a special bacterium in sheep's stomach will digest this grass. Scientists calculated a 20-herd sheep could "handle" the grass area to about 4,047 m2 in a month's time.
According to scientists, there is no need to worry about sheep after eating grass grown on soil contaminated with TNT, when grilling meat will explode like a bomb or cause health problems.
Because TNT has been absorbed by early sheep, it has been broken down into tiny molecules, completely different from the substances found in TNT explosives.
