Cow burps are a major contributor to climate change - can scientists change that?

Livestock production-primarily cows-produce 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of that is in the form of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is a natural byproduct of how some livestock process food. But as Christopher Booker reports, scientists are hoping that small tweaks in what cows eat can dramatically reduce a big source of climate emissions.

Which is a bigger methane source: cow belching or cow flatulence? - NASA Science

Contrary to common belief, it's actually cow belching caused by a process called enteric fermentation that contributes to methane emissions. Enteric fermentation is the digestive process in which sugars are broken down into simpler molecules for absorption into the bloodstream. This process also produces methane as a by-product.
