First thing that came to my mind: why would cows be different from any wild ruminants? If it has something to do with how domesticated ruminants are fed, why just cows and not sheep or goats? And if it is how they are fed, wouldn't then the solution be changing their diet, like not feeding cows grains and what else they are fed before slaughter, because surely it can't be their natural diet of grass? Because if it was wouldn't all the wild ruminants like bison, gazelles, deer, giraffes etc be an equally big a problem, especially since their numbers used to be bigger but have now been replaced by domesticated ruminants, while the whole number of ruminants on the planet doesn't seem to have changed all that much?
Cows aren't really eating what they prefer to eat or would eat in nature if left on their own. It has to do with the fact that corn is subsidized & so there is a corn glut they got to figure out what to do with. They feed it to cows, they make gasohol, etc etc etc. If they get rid of stupid subsidies, farmers would grow what the market actually demands & cows would end up eating what they would rather eat like the grasses growing in the plains. If they ate like that they would actually even fart less but more than that they wouldn't get sick so often so they wouldn't need to give them antibiotics! Not only that but grass fed meat is much healthier for us because of all the K2 in their fats!
Sometimes I think the ones behind all this nonsense WANT us to eat less healthy meat & to have an excuse to give cows antibiotics & to make them fart more. T
We had cows when I was a kid,they don't fart at all as far as I remember. And that is something I would remember. Their studies if they ever did any,are probably all bullshit,maybe they fed them the wrong food intentionally.

So: why just cows?

We need to research if they even did studys.
Did you feed your cows corn or did you let them eat the sorts of things that cows would normally eat?
We fed local grass and oats in the winter and a little bit of corn. I doubt cows fart much,it's just bullshit they tell city people......
