Best Answer

Cows emit methane, mostly from the front, but a smaller amount from the rear. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Scientists are experimenting with different kinds of cattle feed to try and reduce the amount of methane produced.

However it is also down to the efficiency of the animal to convert feed more efficiently that makes for less methane production. You can have any type or kind of feed that, theoretically, reduces methane production from the belching or flatulence of cattle, but it is more down to the animal's ability to convert the feed efficiently than the feed itself that may help reduce the greenhouse gas methane. Genetics that make cattle more efficient at gaining weight on roughages like grass and hay can make them highly efficient at gaining weight on high-concentrate rations than cattle that do not grow well on grass alone.
