1008:• The claim "... making commercially farmed cattle a major contributor to the greenhouse effect", predicated on alleged methane emission from an average cow, is an unattributed, misinformed opinion. Examination of the claim is a bit simpler than if the claim had specified contribution to anthropogenic global warming, and although the calculation below may seem rough, more precise calculation would be unnecessary for demonstrating that the Knowledge claim is false. (1) In 1980, water vapor, carbon dioxide and clouds, which are the major contributors, together accounted for about 91 to 95 percent of the greenhouse effect, and methane accounted for between 0.7 and 1.6 percent (Schmidt et al. 2010. J. Geophys. Res. Atmos. 115: D20106). Atmospheric methane content has increased somewhat since then (IPCC AR5, i.e. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessement Report). If methane's contribution since 1980 has increased, but no more than in simple proportion to that increase in atmospheric methane content, the contribution now would be within the range 0.7 to 1.9 percent. (3) The atmospheric lifetime of methane is short, recently estimated at about 9 years (IPCC AR5). Thus, recent data on sources of methane emission are sufficient for partitioned attribution of current atmospheric methane between cattle and other sources, i.e. approximate attribution need not take account of long-term historical data, because the relative proportions of emissions from cattle versus other sources have not changed greatly in recent years. (4) Enteric fermentation in cattle recently accounts for only about 11 to 13 percent of total (natural plus anthropogenic) methane emissions, and because of (3), cattle can therefore be inferred to account for only about 11 to 13 percent of atmospheric methane recently. The methane emission percentages are based on IPCC AR5 and FAOSTAT figures (where the latter were calculated by IPCC Tier 1 methods). (5) Although the FAO compiles global statistics on cattle numbers, there are no global statistics on "commercially farmed" cattle numbers or their emissions. However, because "commercially farmed" cattle represent a subset of total cattle, the methane from this subset is some fraction of that from all cattle. (6) From the above, one can estimate that methane from all cattle accounts for between about 0.08 and 0.25 of one percent of the greenhouse effect, and that the contribution from "commercially farmed" cattle will be only some fraction of that from all cattle. Thus, to claim that methane emission from cows makes "commercially farmed" cattle a major contributor to the greenhouse effect is an egregious error. 1005:• No source is cited to support the claim that "An average cow is thought to emit between 542 litres (if located in a barn) and 600 litres (if in a field) of methane per day through burping and exhalation, making commercially farmed cattle a major contributor to the greenhouse effect." Although temperature and pressure for these volume expressions are not specified, making the meaning of the numbers vague, these figures seem much too high for emission by eructation and exhalation from an average cow. The numbers and description suggest that the claim might be based on misinterpretation of the data of Kaharabata and Schuepp (2000), who estimated 542 and 631 L/d per dairy cow for a barn and a feedlot, respectively. These amounts represent methane from not only eructation and exhalation, but also emission from the anus and any emission due to methanogenesis within the sampled area outside the cows, e.g. in manure within the areas where the measurements were made. (The measurements used SF6 methodology in a spatial sampling grid.) Moreover, the dairy cows of one barn and one feedlot cannot be assumed to be average cows, considering relative numbers and characteristics of dairy cows and beef cows, and variation among herds and feeding practices. The US EPA "Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2013, Annex 3", has estimated that average annual methane production of US beef cows and dairy cows in 2013 was 95 and 144 kg per head, respectively. The EPA calculations were carefully and expertly done, taking account of many factors in different regions of the US, and there are arguably no better estimates of the averages for US beef and dairy cows for 2013. The average of these figures, weighted according to relative numbers of US beef cows and dairy cows in 2013 (from US EPA figures, verified by consulting USDA Agricultural Statistics 2014), is 107 kg per year, equivalent to 445 L per cow per day at 25 deg. C and 1 atm. pressure (or 413 L at standard temperature and pressure as defined by IUPAC), considerably below the lower of the two figures claimed in the Knowledge article. Predicating a claim about methane from "commercially farmed" cattle on alleged methane data from average cows is also problematic. For example, US EPA estimates indicate that the average methane emission per head of US feedlot cattle is less than half the average per US cow, and the average per head of US beef calves is about a tenth of the average per US cow. 993:• The section claims: "One reason why cows burp so much is that they are often fed foods that their digestive systems cannot fully process, such as corn and soy." The rationale is incorrect. Feed constituents that are not digestively processed at all do not contribute to ruminal gas production. When feeds are more fully processed by digestion in the rumen, considerable gas may be produced, The claim may also mislead because, per unit amount of metabolizable energy consumed, corn (maize) grain can be expected to produce no more ruminal gas than the grasses, legume forages, non-leguminous forbs and other roughages in the diet of cattle. This is partly because the volatile fatty acid anions produced in ruminal fermentation of the forages tend to include a smaller propionate fraction and a larger acetate fraction: production of acetate from pyruvate is accompaned by release of carbon dioxide (some of which is reduced to form methane). If more eructation does occur with feeding of more corn and soy, it may be due to increased digestion of feed, related not only to higher average digestibility of feed, but also higher voluntary intake of feed, facilitated by rumen volume made available by more rapid passage of feeds with lower average fiber concentration. However, if a feed is subject to more rapid passage, the fraction of its digestible dry matter digested in the rumen may be lessened, with more fermentation (and thus, very likely, increased gas production) occurring in the hindgut, from which gases do not contribute to eructation. Also, the degree to which the digestive system of cattle can process corn grain varies significantly, depending on whether and how the grain is processed before feeding. For example, digestion of the starch of corn grain in cattle tends to be higher if the grain was processed (e.g. by grinding, rolling or steam-flaking) before feeding, rather than being fed whole. 996:• The section states: "Some farmers have reduced burping in their cows by feeding them alfalfa and flaxseed, which are closer to the grasses that they had eaten in the wild before they were domesticated." The article cited in connection to this claim is focused on methane release and its reduction; it contains no claim that eructation is reduced wih this diet. Flaxseed is not at all close to a grass, either botanically or in terms of its composition. There is no basis for assuming or implying that any feed so extremely high in lipids would have been a significant part of the diet of pre-domestication cattle. The cited source does not claim that feeding of alfalfa has any effect on either eructation or methane. It simply states that alfalfa was being fed to cattle in the study. (Although there is also no explicit claim that feeding of flaxseed was responsible for reduced methane production in this study, one would expect, from evidence presented in peer-reviewed research papers, that methane emission would be reduced by inclusion of flaxseed in the diet of the cows.) 1002:• With reference to methane produced by cows, the section states: "95% of this gas (wind) is emitted through burping." The source cited for this is a newspaper column by a journalist who actually states, with regard to methane, "About 95% of the gas originates, not as flatulence, but as exhalation." Exhalation is not equivalent to burping. Moreover, the journalist does not attribute the claim to an expert or a credible source. Nowhere have I found research data to justify suggesting an eructation figure as high as 95 % of the total methane produced in a cow or other ruminant. Many sources cite data of Murray et al. (1976), who found that in sheep, 95 % of rumen methane is emitted by eructation, but in their study, rumen methane accounted for only 87 % of total methane production, the remainder being produced in the hindgut and emitted by processes other than eructation. Thus, of the total methane produced in that study, only 83 % was emitted by eructation. 1011:• The article's mention of an anti-methane vaccine cites an abbreviated secondary account of a study which examined effects only over a very short period. There is no acknowledgment of the more recent study (published nearly seven years ago) involving many of the same researchers, showing that in the longer run, use of anti-methanogen vaccine resulted in no significant reduction of methane production. This result was apparently due to induction of a different methanogen population, occupying the ecological niche of methanogens whose numbers had been reduced by the vaccine. 1014:• The section refers to bloat in ruminants. It might be helpful to readers if there were some explanation of how ruminant eructation occurs and of the mechanism involved in bloat that occurs due to prevention of eructation. With regard to bloat treatment, the section mentions use of rubber hose or trochar, but does not acknowledge any alternative treatments or preventatives, such as administration of poloxalene, alcohol ethoxylate, pluronic detergents, various oils, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, or various ionophores. 999:• The section states: "Escherichia coli (E. coli) and other bacteria lack the enzymes and cofactors required for methane production." In relation to eructation by ruminants, why mention Escherichia coli at all? E. coli is abundant in the hindgut, but hindgut gases are not subject to eructation. Gases produced in the rumen are subject to eructation, but E. coli is unimportant in the rumen, because it tends to be strongly inhibited by rumen fluid constituents within the normal rumen pH range, as shown by Wolin (1969). 158: 223: 142: 214: 1712:
strangely lengthy discussion on bovine burps which mention nothing about cows swallowing air. The cow discussion is also supported by a scientific article. To me, it seems unlikely that "swallowing air" is a real or significant cause of burping. Regardless of my belief, this myth or folk wisdom should not be perpetuated by Knowledge unless the context is explained or a reliable citation found.
990:• The section states "In the case of ruminants, the gas (wind) expelled is methane produced as a byproduct of the animal's digestive process." In fact, the eructated gas is mostly carbon dioxide; it also contains small amounts of several other gases, in addition to the significant methane fraction. There are several credible sources of information on rumen gas composition. 1749:, This is indeed, an astounding and astonishing rendition! It is not particularly elegant, but perhaps it does provide an excellent example of the various sounds. I don't have experience in judging the appropriateness of audio clips for our encyclopedia. Yes, it is a bit weird, but illustrative....(and pretty gross, from my US cultural viewpoint). Ah, well...Best wishes, 1539:(depending on the newspaper) use "urination", "defecation" or "flatulence" which, unlike "eructation", are terms familiar to nearly everyone.

Discussion of such release of gas by a fish presumably belongs in an article elsewhere in Knowledge. 1470:

As for it being the "normal term", vastly more people use the terms "poop" and "crap" than feces, more people use "pee" than urine, and more people use "fart" than flatus/flatulence. "Pee", "poop", "fart", and "burp" are similar and comparable terms.
