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.


Where in the world do cows produce most milk?

Cows produce more milk in new zealand.


Which planet is blue green because of methane?

The planet Uranus appears blue-green due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere. Methane absorbs red light, allowing the blue and green wavelengths to be more prominent, giving the planet its distinct color.


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).


Do cows produce more milk than calves need?

Yes, cows typically produce more milk than calves need, as they are bred to produce milk for human consumption as well.


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 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.


What can cows do to help the investment?

Eat, stay healthy, & succesfull breed to produce more cows to sell.


Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?

No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.


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.
