Cow flatulence resulted in an explosion at a farm in Germany. The farm had 90 cows and the methane gas built up from the flatulent animals lead to an explosion that damaged the roof of the cow shed and left one of the animals with burns.

The funny incident took place in Rasdorf, a town in central Germany. According to the police, the high level of methane gas had accumulated inside the structure.

Explosion in the cow shed was caused by a static electric charge that also lit up with  flashes of flames. The explosion left one of the cows with burns for which it was treated.

Cow flatulence containing methane gas is considered to be one of the contributors of global warming. On a daily basis, each animal produces so much methane gas that it's enough to fill a 400 litre bottle.
