Hilda, which came from IVF, is part of the Cool Cows Project - which looks to breed cattle that produce less methane gas when trumping.
According to Professor Richard Dewhurst, from Scotland's Rural College, it will "produce a greater number of offspring from these donors, rapidly establishing a nucleus of highly methane-efficient calves".
Professor Dewhurst is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "The birth of Hilda is potentially a hugely significant moment for the UK dairy industry.
"We will use a new genomic assessment alongside existing production and environmental efficiency indices to select elite, methane-efficient heifers for breeding."
The UK isn't the only country taking measures as farting cows will be taxed in Denmark from 2030, with the Danes having placed a levy on agricultural emissions in an attempt to decrease climate change.
