Who produces methane?
Hi it is emiblondie here, before i answer i am not some geek who knows everythihng but i was reading the guiness book of records and it said that the most producers of methane were actually termites and not cows. honest xx
What is the cow used for?
Cows produce milk, meat (beef), and little cows to make more milk and meat. Apparently, according to the Global Wamers, cows also produce an inordinate amount of the greenhouse gas methane; so I guess they have that going for them too.
Which produces more Methane gas A Grass Feed Cow or a Corn fed cow?
Cows that consume grass produce more methane than cows on a high-concentrate or high-grain diet. This is because more acetate is produced than proprionate, which gets converted by the methanogens in the rumen to methane gas, which must be expelled through eructation or belching.
Which planet is blue green because of methane?
When people fart , methane gas is produced.Another thing about methane gas is that cows are one biggest producers of methane gas because they have two stomachs.You know they burp more methane than farting it. Termites are at the top of the list ! They fart more methane than anything ! There are many other animals and things that produce methane gas .
Where in the world do cows produce most milk?
Cows produce more milk in new zealand.
Why do people promote vegetarianism as a possible answer to produce enough food?
When animals are produced for food they have to be fed something. Even cows don't only eat grass. The plants they eat could often be eaten by people, saving the field space used by the animals, and also saving the planet from the methane emitted by the animals as they digest their food. If we eat the plants directly, we also produce methane (obviously!), but there's a lower total than if cows etc produce it and we then eat them. Also if we only eat vegetables there is a lot more land area freed up to produce them. When animals are produced for food they have to be fed something. Even cows don't only eat grass.

What gas is in cow pat?
Methane. Cows are destroying the environment more than people.
Does passing gas pollute the air?
Yes it does because the gasses in the passing of gas can pollute the air but not that much. Some people think that pollution just happens from machines but it can by natural causes too. Human methane production is not significant. Cows produce much more methane gas than humans do. This is a concern because methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Methane from cattle tends to come from belches (cows have multiple stomachs) than from cow flatulence (gas passing).
Prokaryotes in cow intestines produce more methane if the cow is fed a diet high in grains rather than grass Scientists propose that cows contribute to global warming How could it be tested?
What is your hypothesis?Prokaryotes are in cow intestines.Prokaryotes produce methane.Prokaryotes produce more methane when the cow is fed grass than when it is fed grain.Methane causes global warming.All scientists accept that global warming is a fact.Bousogenic (anthropogenic = man-made so, bousogenic = cow-made) methane is a significant contributor to atmospheric methane. [Note: even a weak hypothesis sounds more erudite if you sprinkle in some Greek and Latin.]You can only work on one hypothesis at a time. You need to refine the statement to come up with a statement that:Is based on observations (educated guess)Can be tested (empirical)Can be proven FalseIf you read the statement, nowhere does it say that cows produce methane. The methane is produced by the microbes that live in the intestines of the cow. The cow is no more at fault for the methane production than are the farmers who raise them or the customers who order the hamburgers.If you want to determine the validity of the assertion that grass produces more gas than grain, that is fairly easy.The hypothesis is: Grass-fed cows emit more methane than grain-fed cows.The test would be to collect the gas emanating from the posteriors of three valid population samples of cows. One set of cows (the control) would be fed a mix of grain and grass. A second group would be fed grass and a third would be fed grain.Measure the gas and draw your conclusions.The collection of the methane would be the interesting part.
Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No.
Do NASA think cattle or pigs produce more methane?
Cattle are responsible for the production of more methane than any other animal, which includes humans. For more information please view the attached related link. "Non-dairy cattle and dairy cows together contribute about 75% of the total methane source from animals; the remainder is from water buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs, camels, and horses."
What can cows do to help the investment?
Eat, stay healthy, & succesfull breed to produce more cows to sell.
