Mitigating Methane Emissions from Husbandry: A brief review
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 06
Abstract
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, produced naturally in the digestive systems of ruminants, from enteric fermentation, including those raised for milk and meat. The husbandry sector, which includes livestock farming and dairy production, significantly contributes to global methane emissions. These emissions not only contribute to climate change but also have negative impacts on the environment and human health. To mitigate these emissions, it is essential to implement sustainable practices and technologies that reduce methane production and emissions. An application objective of this brief review is to be used as discussion material by students of the master’s degree in Environmental Management and Sustainable Development at La Salle University, Costa Rica.
