Mitigation of Rumen Methane Emissions with Foliage and Pods of Tropical Trees

Animals, 2020
Methane produced by enteric fermentation contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the GHG resulting from anthropogenic activities with the greater global warming contribution.

Effect of Manure from Cattle Fed 3-Nitrooxypropanol on Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas Emissions Depends on Soil Type

Agronomy, 2021
Cattle production is a large source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Canadian livestock sector. Efforts to reduce CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation have led to modifications of diet composition for livestock, resulting in a corresponding ...

Variation in carbon footprint of milk due to management differences between Swedish dairy farms [PDF]

, 2011
To identify mitigation options to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from milk production (i.e. the carbon footprint (CF) of milk), this study examined the variation in GHG emissions among dairy farms using data from previous CF studies on Swedish ...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) Estimation in the Livestock Sector in Bangka Belitung Province using the IPCC Tier-2 Method

Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were a major causal factor of global warming that further impacts climate change. This study aimed to inventory the sources of greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector in Bangka Belitung.

Evaluation of a single‐flow continuous culture fermenter system for determination of ruminal fermentation and enteric methane production

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2019
AbstractA 4‐unit, single‐flow continuous culture fermenter system was developed to assess in vitro nutrient digestibility, volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration and daily enteric methane (CH4) production of ruminant diets. The objective was to develop a closed‐vessel system that maintained protozoal populations and provided accurate predictions of ...

A review of key microbial and nutritional elements for mechanistic modeling of rumen fermentation in cattle under methane-inhibition

Frontiers in Microbiology
The environmental impacts of livestock agriculture include the production of greenhouse gasses (GHG) such as methane (CH4) through enteric fermentation.

Comparing process-based models with the inventory approach to predict CH4 emission of livestock enteric fermentation

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Livestock production is the largest anthropogenic methane (CH _4 ) source globally over the decades. Enteric fermentation of ruminants is responsible for the majority of global livestock CH _4 emissions.

Comprehensive Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Thai Beef Cattle Production and the Effect of Rice Straw Amendment on the Manure Microbiome

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
We measured the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions following beef cattle feeding and evaluated the manure management in northeast Thailand (Khon Kaen) to obtain the country-specific emission factor (EF) and replace the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...

The Role of Chitosan as a Possible Agent for Enteric Methane Mitigation in Ruminants

Animals, 2019
Livestock production is a main source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG). The main gases are CH4 with a global warming potential (GWP) 25 times and nitrous oxide (N2O) with a GWP 298 times, that of carbon dioxide (CO2) arising from enteric ...
