Livestock emit large quantities of methane as part of their natural digestive processes. Livestock is a significant source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in agriculture. Carbon dioxide is much more abundant than methane in the atmosphere. Methane, on the other hand, traps 30 times more heat than carbon dioxide. Methane (CH4) is the main component of natural gas and a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). After escaping into the atmosphere, greenhouse gases act as a shield, insulating the Earth and trapping energy while slowing the rate at which heat leaves the planet. The greenhouse effect has become stronger and more constant over the last few decades as greenhouse gas emissions have increased. It is leading to global warming, which is a concerning situation. As a result, methane production and emissions from the fermentation of feed and fodders in the ruminant digestive tract must be reduced. This analysis discusses nutritional manipulation in ruminants as the best method for reducing methane production and emissions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
