Methane (CH4) is 28 times more potent than CO2 as a GHG, accounts for 14% of total global GHG emissions, and is the second largest contributor to global warming (IPCC, 2014). About 25% of total anthropogenic CH4 emissions are due to enteric fermentation in livestock, particularly ruminants...
Methane production by ruminants: its contribution to global warming. Ann Zootech. 2000;49:231–53. Article CAS Google Scholar Li F, Guan LL. Metatranscriptomic profiling reveals linkages between the active rumen microbiome and feed efficiency in beef cattle. Appl Environ Microbiol. 2017;83(9):...
Methane gas is making its way into the water and then finally out into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming - methane has 28 times greater warming potential than carbon dioxide. A detailed analysis showed that around 10 per cent of total methane emissions from the Baltic Sea may be ...
Methane (CH4) is one of the major greenhouse gases originating from cattle. The global warming potential in a 100 years perspective is 28 times higher compared to carbon dioxide (CO2). Hence, the contribution from cattle to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change is substantial1,2. Methane ...
Contribution of beef and dairy cattle production in the United States (U.S.) to anthropogenic climate change is a growing public policy concern. In recent years, research in this area has begun to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emission s... Kimberly R. Stackhouse,Sara E. Place,Michelle S....
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have already raised global temperatures by a mean of 1°C above pre-industrial levels, with annual emissions continuing to rise, so slowing global warming is a huge global challenge [1]. Sectors including agriculture, forestry, and other land use contribute gre...
De Sevilla notes that this reduction in methane emissions could be a solution to decrease the contribution of the beef cattle sector to climate change. Livestock emissions, particularly methane from cattle, are a significant concern in efforts to combat global warming. ...
By the end of the twenty-first century, mean ambient temperatures are predicted to increase resulting in a greater climate warming in the Northern hemisphere1. Consequently, both humans and animals are exposed to heat waves during summer months at a higher frequency, intensity and duration affecting...
produces14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. There is no comparable full life-cycle assessment for transportation.However, as Steinfeld has pointed out, direct emissions from transportation versus livestock can be compared and amount to 14 versus 5 percent,...
Soybean silage showed higher global warming potential (GWP), marine eutrophication and human toxicity compared with lucerne hay, the most utilised self-produced protein feed, due to the high contribution of mechanical operations in the field. The GWP of milk (kg CO 2 eq/kg FPCM) decreased ...
