I really want to swear loudly and profusely right now.
STOP FEEDING THEM CORN! COWS WERE NOT MEANT TO EAT CORN!
Cows eat grass whether its alive or dead. If they do that they will not fart.
THIS IS SO SIMPLE EVEN A TWO YEAR OLD CAN FIGURE IT OUT!
Thank you, I feel better now.
But...corn is a form of grass.
You know, the methane is formed by fermentation of the forage in the cow’s rumen (and is expelled by cow burps, not farts). Feed rations including substantial non-forage ingredients (such as grains, distillers spent grains, beet pulp, and the like) will reduce the methane production by both reducing the fermentation and shortening the3 animal’s life.

You didn’t grow up on a dairy or beef farm did you.
HUH! Stopping feeding cows corn will prevent farts??
Just WHERE did you come up with THAT bit of b.s.
As a farm kid I milked the family cow and can assure that pastured cows do indeed fart.
