What is the poisonous gas produced by cows?
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.
Is methane gas flammable?
Seriously? Yes methane is a hydrocarbon. One of the properties of hydrocarbons is flammability. Methane in particular is one of the principal components of natural gas. Its also the reason you can light farts, and heat your home in the winter. A lot of methane is trapped under ice in the arctic. The leaf and animal matter sink and rot and form methane, but the methane is trapped under the frozen ice. If you break the ice you can light the gas that seeps up from under, its mainly methane.
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
How do you get methane in your body?
The common name for methane is swamp gas. Methane is also called natural gas. Methane comes from coal mining. It can also be made from "cracking" coal or oil and from any waste organic material including animal faeces (feces). Methane is produced in the stomach of ruminant animals (sheep, cows) which is then expelled from their digestive system back into the atmosphere. Methane is a green house gas. It is a hazard in mines as it is odourless in it's natural state but highly explosive. In New Zealand in 2010, a mine explosion killed 27 men who were trapped due to an earlier explosion. Methane has an odour added to it when sold to prevent it leaking undetected and then exploding. This became law in the United States after 311 people were killed at a school in New London, Texas in 1937. The rest of the world soon followed suit.
Can humans breathe methane?
Because it's mainly due to how the feed they eat is digested. The digestive processes both from the rumen and from the cecum encourage byproduct which includes methane and carbon dioxide. Since these gases don't have anything to contribute to the health of the animal, they are expelled by belching and flatulence. And methane isn't just from cows: it also comes from humans, pigs, deer, horses, sheep, wolves, lions, etc. It also comes from deep in the earth and is expelled into the atmosphere.

Methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, same kind of gas any animal lets out if they got flatulence or have to burp.
