However, the production of ruminants contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are responsible for climate change. GHGs such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide are produced from different processes of ruminant production. Ruminant enteric methane is a substantial component of methane produced by agriculture. This book presents novel and established methods in quantifying and reducing enteric methane emission from ruminants in different production systems. The book covers different types of ruminants including cattle, sheep, and goats. The chapters are contributed by scientists and authors from different parts of the world, demonstrating the importance of this problem and the universal drive for immediate and sustainable solutions. Although, biologically speaking, the production of enteric methane cannot be reduced to zero, high emissions are an indicator of inefficient digestion of feed in the rumen and low utilisation of feed energy. By presenting research that could lead to robust and yet practical quantification methods and mitigation strategies, this book not only contributes to the discourse and new knowledge on the magnitude of the problem but also brings forward potential solutions in different livestock production systems. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology, engineering, agriculture$2bicssc 610 $aenvironmental modelling 610 $apasture systems 610 $anitrous oxide 610 $amethane emissions 610 $anitrate leaching 610 $aclimate change 610 $aheat stress 610 $agoat 610 $aimmunization 610 $amethane 610 $avolatile fatty acids 610 $abackgrounded cattle 610 $aencapsulated nitrate 610 $aessential oil 610 $anitrogen balance 610 $areduction strategy 610 $arumen fermentation 610 $amicrobial flora 610 $atea saponins 610 $aMoringa oleifera 610 $afecal methanogenic community 610 $adairy cows 610 $amcrA gene sequencing technique 610 $amethane emission 610 $atropical beef cattle 610 $aDesmanthus 610 $asupplementation 610 $agrowth performance 610 $aruminant nutrition 610 $alegumes 610 $aNDIR 610 $alaser 610 $aagreement 610 $aenteric emissions 610 $ainterchangeability 610 $aheifer 610 $aforage-to-concentrate ratio 610 $aprediction equation 610 $asulphur hexafluoride tracer technique 610 $agenetic evaluation 610 $agreenhouse gases 610 $aenvironment 610 $adairy goat farming 610 $alinear programming 610 $aGHG emissions 610 $aabatement cost 610 $amitigation options 610 $acarbon footprint 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aTechnology, engineering, agriculture 700 $aChagunda$b Mizeck$4edt$01319361 702 $aLøvendahl$b Peter$4edt 702 $aChagunda$b Mizeck$4oth 702 $aLøvendahl$b Peter$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557744603321 996 $aQuantification and Mitigation Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock Production Systems$93033826 997 $aUNINA
