Not sure if I'm on the right track but... Way back in the '70s when I did chemistry, the 'standard' test for methane was to collect a small sample in a test tube, hold the mouth of the tube near a naked flame, and wait for it to 'pop'. The thing is - that also worked for any other combustible gas - such as oxygen !... If I'm wrong - someone else is more than welcome to remove this and replace it with the right answer.

Actually, the term Methane Burp is a theory to account for massive global climate change. One theory is that a change is ocean temps (or levels) can trigger a large scale release of methane from compunds called methane clathrates on the sea beds. Methane (being a powerul greenhouse gas) would cause a rise in air temps. One theory is that a methane burp brought about the death of the dinosaurs.

Do cows fart?

Yes they do, but they burp much more than they pass gas. As a matter of fact, a cow will eructate (burp) once every minute of every day because of the proximity of the rumen to the mouth. Thus more methane is passed through the mouth than the anus, because it has a much shorter distance to travel outwards. Where the methane only has to go from the rumen to the esophagus and out the mouth, the methane gas would have to go through the abomasum, small intestine, then large intestine (which are quite long when stretched out) then finally the rectum.
