You could in theory by doing things like producing milk through precision fermentation or by altering the gut microbiome of cattle. The latter being somewhat possible through dietary changes, but not financially supported in any meaningful way.
In any case, they're not even pretending to try anymore
You can't change the cows or the microbiome in any meaningful way, the methanogens are part of the digestive and nutrient extraction process. They can play with the food and sprinkle in selective antibiotics, but that usually leads the cows suffering or just not being "productive" enough. Now if you want to give some special feed to deer to make them produce less GHGs, that would be something interesting.
