Abstract:Greenhouse gases (GHG) emission from agriculture (24%) are an important contributor to climate change. Livestock accounts for an estimated 80% of total agriculture emissions, making abatement of GHG emission from livestock a high-priority challenge facing animal nutritionists. These gases are produced because of ruminal fermentation of feeds resulting in a significant contribution of GHG from this sector. There are potential strategies to reduce GHG emissions in ruminants such as improved farming systems, fora… Show more
