Canadian scientists are trying to breed cows that burp less. Cows account for up to 75% of methane emissions, which is partly responsible for global warming. Cow burps are 20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. So, by breeding bovines that burp less, they would breeding more environmentally friendly cows.

If they burp less, it must be building up a great deal of gastrointestinal pressure.....its gotta go somewhere !.....
I think I would prefer them to burp rather than 'blowin a hole in the ozone out their butts !!!

But is this really good for the cows? Will all of the meat eaters burp less too? That would be a big plus!

I wish people would stop messing with nature & accept what happens naturally, even if it smells at times, such as gas ( burps, farts, whatever, leave it alone) !!!

this way the cows still burp less and I get a good dinner. Still, when they say that cows account for up to 75% of methane emissions-............compared to what? Life on a normal day without any disruptions, (like an underwater earthquake that releases methane into the atmosphere)- and what about elephants? I hear they release quite a bit of methane into the atmosphere too.........- and so what's next? A breeding plan for any living entity that burps- ? ................ From blue whales all the way down to the smallest ant- that would really put a cap on methane emissions, wouldn't it? And then the whole planet could be involved in getting the right wingers onto their soap boxes and pointing their fingers at Al Gore.

This qualifies as a lot of gas. If the mehane that comnes from over 5 billion people is measured, I'm sure someone would wand to put mufflers on people to prevent air pollution.

As long as we don't find out down the road that whatever it is that makes them burp less doesn't cause a new problem, like farting more often......

Feeding grain to cattle has got to be one of the dumbest ideas in the history of western civilization.
Not to mention:
Chemicals,Steroids,Hormones,C... drugs,Ect...
Causing... Mad-cow-Diseases,Abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily functions,Salmonella,Chemecals that can cause cancer.
Beef is not like it used to be... Fresh-&-Normal...!!!
Yes... I do eat beef... But try to buy it from fresh-market.
Chicken, Pork, & fish are in the same situation as well.
Shop-Smartly.

I think they were meant to burp when necessary this will probably cause them to have stomach problems..

If cattle were such a problem, why didn't this problem exist when the west was covered in bison, and the woods full of burping, farting mammels? Even martha washington complained about people burning coal and wood, so there are always complainers.
