Re: tummy-aches: actually, I think the preliminary studies indicated that the livestock treated with the vaccine were stronger and healthier than their control compatriots. The vaccines targeted only 3 bacterial species, leaving many others to continue to be healthy internal flora. And perhaps having your gut bacteria busy making methane isn't actually good for you, there are better metabolic pathywas for them to use or something. Mind you, for the purposes of my thesis I don't need to know the nitty-gritty details, so I didn't read the sources in depth.
