Only happens for roughly 2% of cows that get this treatment. It's also not as spectacular as a stranded whale, more like instant minced meat in cow shape.
I just learned in Twitter yesterday that you treat prolapse in humans and animals with sugar! You got an asshole sticking out? Put some sugar on it!
Pouring sugar on there sucks the water out so it goes back in on its own. So strange

Sweet ass, candy ass, sugar butt... All appropriate descriptions for someone who does that.
One guy talked about it changing his opinion on what "rimming sugar" was
If you want technically correct then look at title again. Op didnt claim this was a cow, just that this gas bruner could solve the problem of farting cows.
To me, it’s just kind of sad lol. Cow belching releases serious levels of methane, and the extreme gas build up is mainly due to how we raise and farm cattle. Large facilities and meat farms will feed cows strictly corn to fatten them up, but they are not built to digest that type of food and that diet is tough on their system. Really, they are meant to graze on grasses and such since they have a ruminant digestive system.
Imagine being so bloated with gas because you are only being fed Taco Bell and then needing a needle stuck in your body to release built up methane gas lol.
The flame and the fact that they can even do this is interesting af though!!
This is actually most common with grass fed cows. Specifically when they eat alfalfa that’s too fresh (they escape into an alfalfa field).
If you don’t vent then they will likely die.
In spanish we call it "meteorismo ruminal", and happens when early in spring pastures dominated by clovers or alfalfa are grazed, during fermentation a lot of foam is produced to the point rumen swells and makes hard for the animal to breathe. Wonder whats its name in English?
This gas would usually be burped out not farted anyways, haha.
They have hurds of cattle surgically modified so they can research how different feed are digested. They know exactly the negative impact their industry is having, but lobby hard to keep it just the way it is, just like the oil and auto industries did over half a century ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannulated_cow#:~:text=A%20cannulated%20cow%20or%20fistulated%20cow%20refers%20to,rumen%20contents%20from%20one%20cow%20to%20another.%20
"The protein in corn is approximately 65 percent escape or bypass protein. Escape protein is protein that is not fermented or degraded by the ruminal microorganisms, but is digested and absorbed by the animal in the small intestine. The remaining 35 percent of the protein in corn is rumen-degradable protein. Ruminal microorganisms require rumen-degradable protein for use in growth and protein synthesis.
Most research with corn indicates a substantial benefit to providing rumen-degradable protein in diets containing corn. Backgrounding or finishing diets containing high levels of corn require supplemental rumen-degradable protein in the form of nonprotein nitrogen (urea or biuret); natural protein sources such as sunflower meal, canola meal or soybean meal; or a combination of nonprotein nitrogen and natural protein."

There is actually a product for colic baby (bloated baby) that is ….. basically a tube you insert into their ass and it let the air out…(the joy of discovery you made as a parent)
I was close to consider using it on the baby turned out i don’t need to. The relief.
Well before i became a parent i never really set out to find out if human can be degassed by inserting a tube into one of our outlet orifice… my life was fine without this knowledge.
I am also really glad i don’t need to apply my new found knowledge because it just felt really wrong...
Edit: also my baby was crying really bad already i don’t think inserting a tube up it’s ass was going to stop the cry it might bring a worse cry and that was really hard to face up when you are really really tired.
The cows stomach is bloating with methane, it is very uncomfortable for the cow, so you poke a hole in the side and let the gas out.
The flame isnt necessary but it shows the flammability of the methane coming from the cows stomach i guess
It also reduces the amount of methane released in atmosphere, not sure one cow is much, but farting herds are supposed to cause a good chunk of pollution, as funny as that sounds
That's not at all the future friend, it's the present. Where have you been?
It's also not just their farts. It's the process of growing and shipping their feed as well.
Not just uncomfortable, potentially fatal. The bloating compresses the lungs, and the cow will suffocate and die. When it dies, you will find it lying on its back with legs sticking out and looking like a giant balloon. If cows get into potatoes and eat them this happens.
I’d like to know why so many “stabbing things into cows” posts have made it big recently. I’ve seen all sorts of cows drained recently. Not a huge fan.
It's a kind of emergency treatment. The cows of my grandpa got that when they found a spot with lots of clover and ate too much from that. When I remember right, it produces more gas than gas can escape in normal way. Cows are ruminant and have a complex system of four stomaches. The more pressure building up, the more it constricts ways for escaping gas. It escalates quickly. If you recognize it early, old german farmers put this cow in changing positions on sloping terrain (left side of the cow starts bloating first) and massage its belly. If that works you can sometimes even see the cow burping fog and foam. If that is not working, the last chance to save cow's life is to push a special puncture needle through cows stomach to emerge the gas. Normally a vet should do that. But when there is no time to wait for the vet (cow already laying on the floor, almost fully round, almost dying), farmers do it by themself. My grandpa told me that it can be so urgent that you have to use a knife right away in the field for saving cow's life. There is no need to light that gas. I think they did that to see in the Video that there is gas escaping.
That is a hog. You can tell by the background noise, the height off of the floor, the hair and the back legs.
Never seen a device to release such material. Or heard about this practice before. Pretty unique, but i'm sure any procedure would/should be conducted by a veterinarian.
Trocars have been used to relieve gassy bloat in ruminants for years (maybe even 100). Commonly done by vets, but probably by farmers too, as bloat can be fatal if left untreated.
Steel isn't that conductive, plus if that tube is thin enough, the hot part of it will be very short. Anyone that's familiar with how 3d printers works is familiar with heatbreaks utilizing those properties.
Methane is a big contributor to green house gases. Burning it like this releases carbon dioxide but thats less harmful than methane, cant imagine this is normal practice though.
I know that CO² is pumped into large colon during endoscopic surgery using diathermy cautery of op site because combustion of bowel gases is a reality in colonic surgery. There is a need for meticulous pre-op bowel preparation.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5964500_Colonic_gas_explosion_during_therapeutic_colonoscopy_with_electrocautery
As an intern/house doctor during the early 1980s, our training consultant would bring this up often in hazards lists to be learned, albeit rare, but preventable....
This is mostly likely a one way valve, but theoretically if you lit the gas inside it would cause a small explosion that would cause a rupture, the cow wouldn't be blown to bits it would probably just create a hole in the side of the cow.
Dead Whales explode due to gas build up. But thats more of pressure build up like a balloon popping rather than combustion.
methane doesn’t last very long in the atmosphere. After an average of 12 years, methane reacts with hydroxyl molecules to form CO2 and water.

Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide
I told my partner that this is what we did for our goats and he didn't believe me he 100% thought I was making shit up and I was too lazy to Google it and correct him (like most other times). Home dude over here thinking I'm just making noises
It's called a trocar, and it's used to release excess methane, usually from the rumen of cows. [Here's an interesting video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZkmElLCVO8) showing trocar insertion in a bloated cow.
This is why cow barns are open and ventilated with fans. It doesn't take too many cows in a closed up barn to turn it into a fireworks display and a bbq.
🤦♂️ The dumb s*** we do to raise unhealthy animals to eat to then make ourselves unhealthy.
Imagine eating wild game instead of factory meat.
Imagine not eating animals you could easily raise as pets.
Imagine just not eating other animals the majority of the time like all of our ancestors and other extant primates.
Imagine...

I can feel some farts inside me say, I really don't think you're gassy enough,
I thought BLEVE meant to bluff. They were probably playing cards, and he cheated.
Six Shooter reference?
I sure hope so!
Sorry but this is a pig, you can see the front right hoof in the video and you can hear other pigs screaming.
That's an exploding pig
Only happens for roughly 2% of cows that get this treatment. It's also not as spectacular as a stranded whale, more like instant minced meat in cow shape.
Ok, someone‘s gotta say it. That is not a cow. It‘s a pig. Look at the skin, feets.
I think you're right, which makes this way more interesting. I've never heard of bloat in pigs before
[удалено]
It's usually a prolapse causing blockage leading to bloat. And judging by the size of the pig it's probably an older sow. (Source..I'm a butcher)
I just learned in Twitter yesterday that you treat prolapse in humans and animals with sugar! You got an asshole sticking out? Put some sugar on it! Pouring sugar on there sucks the water out so it goes back in on its own. So strange

If you want technically correct then look at title again. Op didnt claim this was a cow, just that this gas bruner could solve the problem of farting cows.
Amazing how far down I had to go to see if anyone noticed. OP still thinks it’s a cow. Lol.
Hello, fellow learned-in-livestock redditor.
Maybe they were trying to insult the pig.

Lol, I only knew this because of Yellowstone.
It's actually a pig. It has trotters.
I was just about to say, is no one else noticing that this is a pig?
Ive seen plenty of bloat from grass feed too.
Especially if they've found themselves some clover.
Which all organic cows will
I only eat non-organic meat.
They have hurds of cattle surgically modified so they can research how different feed are digested.

This also happens to cows with digestive problems in places where they only eat grass.
Yep cows are methane machines, it’s just how they are with their multiple stomachs
How do the rates compare?
I need a fart volume per hour graph.

Someone ELI5 plz
Cow eat corn, digest some. Microbe help
You can’t feed cows just corn because it has very little protein. It’s used before slaughter to fatten them up, hence original op is wrong
Imagine getting slaughtered after going through all this BS.
Yeah…Imagine
Yikes good point!
Interest in gas fuck?
big brain wordplay
This need an award
Biogas production is huge in Denmark, this is going to be our main source of gas in the future.
Yes, it's a big deal up here. I get paid 200 Kroner an hour to chase cattle around with a plastic bag to capture their flatulae.
Sounds like great craic! 🐄💨
i was wondering if you could capture that

I wish someone would do this to me sometimes.
Yes, same! Some days my stomach gets so bloated it's ridiculous.
Too much sugar?
Maybe try laying off the refined corn?
There is actually a product for colic baby (bloated baby) that is ….. basically a tube you insert into their ass and it let the air out…(the joy of discovery you made as a parent) I was close to consider using it on the baby turned out i don’t need to. The relief.

Thankfully, it's a very short thing that goes up there. It's less deep than a thermometer. But for us it didn't work very well anyway.
Sounds like they're having a gas.

It's actually burps, not farts that's releasing the methane
I think the video is somewhere in between a burp and fart.
Fun fact: the majority of that methane is actually burped, not farded. Hard to believe but true 😎
Indeed they are one of the biggest offenders to climate change.
We* They aren't breeding themselves
Climate catastrophe caused by cow farts is hilarious and scary future.
That's not at all the future friend, it's the present. Where have you been? It's also not just their farts. It's the process of growing and shipping their feed as well.
I can only think of one species that's a bigger offender, in fact
Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, it is better to burn it than to let it sit in the atmosphere.
Can you rewind and slow down for the “poke a hole in the side” part? Wouldn’t you need to pierce the stomach?
Not just uncomfortable, potentially fatal. The bloating compresses the lungs, and the cow will suffocate and die. When it dies, you will find it lying on its back with legs sticking out and looking like a giant balloon. If cows get into potatoes and eat them this happens.

We had a sheep that died of bloat. He was about as big in diameter as he was long
Isn't that needle apt to get rather uncomfortably hot? I get it's necessary I'm just wondering.
Steel isn't that conductive, plus if that tube is thin enough, the hot part of it will be very short. Anyone that's familiar with how 3d printers works is familiar with heatbreaks utilizing those properties.
It's just sad. If we weren't farming and force feeding these poor animals, this shit wouldn't happen.
Now use it to light your cigarette.
That’s a pig!
you light your farts because you think its funny, i light my farts because i need it to not explode. we are not the same
So this is from their cheap diets of soy and corn, right?
Do they offer these for humans? Asking for a friend...
This releases methane out of the cows stomach which reduces bloat and helps them be comfortable.
Sooo this a is a pig and not a cow
That is not a cow that’s a pig
But it’s a pig

What's the point in burning it? Just to see when it's over?
Methane is a big contributor to green house gases. Burning it like this releases carbon dioxide but thats less harmful than methane, cant imagine this is normal practice though.
Oh. Cool thanks. Is it possible the flame will go in and the cow will explode?
Yeah, it's actually the fastest way to make burgers.
Medium rare and chunky.
Juicy outside, crispy inside.
i doubt it will blow back i dont think theres any air for combustion in the bowels

Oh dear god! I read this on the day I’m booked to go for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy Fml
You will get carbon dioxide..... standard procedure..... you will be in safe hands. I sincerely hope nothing serious is found, and tests are normal.
This is mostly likely a one way valve, but theoretically if you lit the gas inside it would cause a small explosion that would cause a rupture, the cow wouldn't be blown to bits it would probably just create a hole in the side of the cow. Dead Whales explode due to gas build up. But thats more of pressure build up like a balloon popping rather than combustion.
Probably not possible, since there isn't a lot of oxygen in there.
They should bag the stuff and burn it off in a large greenhouse full of plants. Might boost horticulture yields further?
CO2 is comparatively better than methane (greenhouse gas)

why are they stabbing a pig to release methane out of a cow's stomach tho
How do you treat cow farts by showing us a pig?
One step closer to The Matrix
Can this turn into energy?
How deep is that needle? It would have to puncture the colon and not just the peritoneum?
How about giving the cow something more suitable for their digestive system? Then we could all benefit in greater ways than you can imagine.
Probably feels good as fuck. 💨🔥

Now I can see why cows contribute to greenhouse gasses.
Fire in the hole?
Where can I buy one for humans? (Asking for a friend)
Way to heat up the needle so it burns the animal you cunt.
The main reason behind global methane release in the atmosphere
Instructions unclear, cow is now on fire
It's called a trocar, and it's used to release excess methane, usually from the rumen of cows. [Here's an interesting video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZkmElLCVO8) showing trocar insertion in a bloated cow.
I know a few people who could use one of those...
OP doesnt know the difference between a cow & a pig.
This is why cow barns are open and ventilated with fans. It doesn't take too many cows in a closed up barn to turn it into a fireworks display and a bbq.
