Researchers in Argentina say the slow digestive system of cattle makes them a producer of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that gets far less public attention than carbon dioxide.
Scientists around the world are studying the amount of methane in cattle burps and Argentine researchers say they have come up with a unique way.

sounds like a great experiment, but i think strapping anything an animal is cruel. Who are we to have say over someone elses life!?!?!? Its bad enough as it is that we slaughter them. If you ask me im sure we can think up something more logical then placing solar panels and plastic tanks on top of any animal. How about a tank that sucks in methane when a cow comes near like by a feeding chamber or in a common area they walk around. It would still be close enough to capture the gases and no metal, magnet, sucking, solarizing machine on any living being. Just an idea.

That's a fuel tank right there on the cows back! Get that methane compressed and then use it to power something.
I do feel a little sorry for cows sometimes, they're going to end up with all sorts of contraptions strapped to them...
