I'll take your (and Old Professor's) word for it.

To get back to the point of it; is there more domestic livestock than there used to be herds of wild ruminants? Do wild ruminants belch less?

[Old Professer]

The volume, frequency and duration of burps is determined by the feedstock and the size of the stock feeding.

[Mr. Lucky]

I dunno, it would seem to me that the expression phrase "buffalo breath" must have some basis in fact.

In any event, because these animals are ruminants, they are able to digest plants which humans cannot.
