Does cow poop/ manure release carbon dioxide?

Question

I know it releases methane but does it release carbon dioxide? Please help me out... I'm trying to figure something out for science fair!

Answer

Carbon dioxide is made of carbon and oxygen. The reaction releases heat. You know, like a barbecue fire. So if you see it burning, then you can say it is a source of CO2.
