Enteric methane mitigation interventions

Translational Animal Science, 2022
AbstractMitigation of enteric methane (CH4) presents a feasible approach to curbing agriculture’s contribution to climate change. One intervention for reduction is dietary reformulation, which manipulates the composition of feedstuffs in ruminant diets to redirect fermentation processes toward low CH4 emissions.

Factors Affecting Enteric Emission Methane and Predictive Models for Dairy Cows

Animals, 2023
Enteric methane emission is the main source of greenhouse gas contribution from dairy cattle. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate drivers and develop more accurate predictive models for such emissions.

A global dataset of enteric methane mitigation experiments with lactating and non-lactating dairy cows conducted from 1963 to 2022

Data in Brief, 2023
A dataset of descriptive information was compiled from 213 peer-reviewed scientific publications that focused on dairy cow experiments and measured enteric methane emissions. This dataset was primarily based on the bibliography used by Arndt et al. (2022)

Enteric methane emissions in grazing dairy systems

JDS Communications, 2023
Approximately 80% of agricultural CH4 comes from livestock systems, with 90% of that derived from enteric CH4 production by ruminants. Grazing systems are used worldwide to feed dairy cattle. Although quantifying enteric CH4 emissions in grazing systems has unique challenges, emerging technologies have made gaseous data collection more feasible and ...

Screening macroalgae for mitigation of enteric methane in vitro

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractThis study investigated the effects of 67 species of macroalgae on methanogenesis and rumen fermentation in vitro. Specimens were analyzed for their effect on ruminal fermentation and microbial community profiles. Incubations were carried out in an automated gas production system for 24-h and macroalgae were tested at 2% (feed dry matter basis)

Strategies to mitigate the emission of methane in pastures: enteric methane: A review

Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2022
The global population reached 7.9 billion in 2021, which represents a 160% increase in the number of people to be fed since 1960. Agricultural systems must sustainably meet food demand for this growing population while minimizing or mitigating potential environmental impacts, which are of growing concern to both consumers and the scientific community ...

Physiological responses and adaptations to high methane production in Japanese Black cattle

Scientific Reports, 2022
In this study, using enteric methane emissions, we investigated the metabolic characteristics of Japanese Black cattle. Their methane emissions were measured at early (age 13 months), middle (20 months), and late fattening phases (28 months). Cattle with

Prediction of enteric methane emissions from cattle [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2014
AbstractAgriculture has a key role in food production worldwide and it is a major component of the gross domestic product of several countries. Livestock production is essential for the generation of high quality protein foods and the delivery of foods in regions where animal products are the main food source.

Solutions to enteric methane abatement in Ireland

Irish Journal of Agricultural and Food Research, 2022
The efficiency of Ireland’s grass-based livestock systems can be attributed to high outputs, low production costs and a low carbon footprint relative to housed systems. Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) of which enteric fermentation from livestock production is a key source, being directly responsible for 57% of Irish agricultural GHG ...

Key Considerations for the Use of Seaweed to Reduce Enteric Methane Emissions From Cattle

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Enteric methane emissions are the single largest source of direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in beef and dairy value chains and a substantial contributor to anthropogenic methane emissions globally.
