All the globally most important livestock species (beef and dairy cattle, pigs, broiler chicken and laying hens) are covered in the book. The mitigation methods assessed in the papers include general system changes, changes in feeding, improvement of animal health, and new technologies of manure management. The scope of the papers included in this book ranges from farm level mitigation methods to national level system changes. This book also addresses methodological development in assessing the environmental sustainability of the livestock production chains, including holistic methods, such as environmental and social life cycle assessment (LCA) and other modeling approaches.animal feedlivestock production systemsnutrient dynamicsenvironmental sustainabilityland use and land managementgreenhouse gas emissionsenvironmental impact assessmentmanure managementlife cycle assessmentLeinonen Ilkka1788272ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346672703321Environmentally Sustainable Livestock Production4322969UNINA
