However, according to HerdX both types of cattle need proteins, energy sources, minerals & vitamins, and water. However, beef cows only need enough energy to provide milk for their calves, while dairy cows need a higher-energy diet to produce large amounts of milk.
Maybe there is another variabile, type of feed?
Perhaps a $2 Million Climate study is in order.

“As such, beef cattle should be given a roughage-based diet, while dairy cows need more energy sources like grain and oilseeds.” - https://herdx.com/blog/what-are-beef-and-dairy-cattle-fed/
So does roughage cause more flatulence or grains and oils. Hmmmm? Definitely need that $2 Million Climate study!
