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.

When air supply is limited in the combustion of pentane what is the poisonous gas produced?

When air supply is limited in the combustion of pentane, carbon monoxide is produced. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that can cause harm when inhaled because it binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing its ability to carry oxygen.

What element in gas form is poisonous?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that is often produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials such as gasoline, wood, and natural gas. It is colorless, odorless, and can be deadly when inhaled in high concentrations as it binds to hemoglobin in the bloodstream, reducing the ability of blood to carry oxygen.
