Methane emitted by livestock is part of the biogenic carbon cycle, a natural process. Cattle are the most important species. In the US, we have 90 million beef cattle, and 9 million dairy cows. We have a lot, about 100 million large ruminants in the United States. --Dr. Frank Mitloehner
And Elon Musk,
The animals are not going to make any difference to global warming.
I want to be super clear about that. It will not matter, you will not even be able to measure it. --Elon Musk
Here is the 2006 UN Report, titled, "Livestock's Long Shadow."
Cattle are the most important species. In the US, we have 90 million beef cattle, and 9 million dairy cows. We have a lot, about 100 million large ruminants in the United States. Just so you know, prior to the European settlement of the United States, we also had a 100 million large ruminants in the country, but at that time it was 67 million bison and 40 million pronghorn antelopes.
The white people from Europe came here and they slaughtered most of those and replaced them over time with domesticated ruminants.FDA approves Bovaer for use in US dairy cattle

And how it is NOW being added to BEEF and MILK.
Bovaer is a new feed additive or new animal drug.
It's made by DSM-firmenich.
The major shareholder is Blackrock.

And:
Livestock numbers remain stable and have done so since the PRE-EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT!
So, how can livestock add to climate change? pic.twitter.com/0vIwRVE1bS
