The video shows 20 cows in a pen. When the cows are burned, the only drop is ONE cooked beef.
The drops of Friendly Mobs in the wild are not right either. Chickens, Pigs and Cows tested but not videoed.
The cows in the video are standing on a hopper. When the button is pushed, a dispenser dispenses Flint and Steel fire to burn them.

The fire on the hopper is burning the rest of the items before they fall into the hopper. find a way to extinguish that fire before the mobs die. It should work just fine then.
I found a funny glitch of my own while testing this. if you take the setup you had for the cow pen, spawn a few baby cows, and remove the block on the outside one block above the hopper the cows are on, the baby cows will try to move close to the grown cows. When they are right next to the stack of grown cows, the baby cows will be flung far away. This seems to be caused by the pushback effect when two mobs collide being multiplied.Try testing it yourself its pretty funny.
Flint and Steeling a mob COOKS the mob meat... Not destroys it. A LONG standing chicken farm that has been in my Play World is affected as well. and 50 chickens will only produce 1 feather now where it used to produce 50 feathers and 50 Roast Chicken.
The problem is that the flint and steel lights the ground on fire as well, and it is that fire that destroys the item drops. What I'm saying is that you can find a way to extinguish the fire on the ground before the mobs die as a temporary fix until they fix the bug.
If you want, you can try to recreate a setup I made that fixes the issue for now.
Here are some screenshots to help build the setup.
Hope this helps.
Looks like hostile mobs have the problem too. If you burn something to death, the drops are consumed. If this is a new "Feature" then fine... Otherwise, this didn't used to happen.
