In a changing climate, livestock production is expected to exhibit
dual roles of mitigation and adaptation in order to meet the
challenge of food security. This book approaches the issues of
livestock production and climate change through three sections: I.
Livestock production, II. Climate change and, III. Enteric methane
amelioration. Section I addresses issues of feed quality and
availability, abiotic stress (heat and nutritional) and strategies
for alleviation, livestock generated nitrogen and phosphorus
pollution, and approaches for harnessing the complex gut microbial
diversity. Section II discusses the effects of climate change on
livestock diversity, farm animal reproduction, impact of meat
production on climate change, and emphasising the role of
indigenous livestock in climatic change to sustain production.
Section III deals with the most recent approaches to amelioration
of livestock methane such as breeding for low methane emissions,
reductive acetogenesis, immunization/vaccine-based concepts and
archaea phage therapy.
