Recent IPCC reports have highlighted the environmental impact of
livestock production as a major source of non-CO2 emissions:
methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3). The livestock
sector must react to these reports and develop or implement methods
that can reduce greenhouse (GHG) emissions from livestock
production. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock
production provides authoritative reviews on measuring GHG
emissions from livestock as well as the range of methods that can
be applied to reduce emissions, ranging from breeding to animal
health and manure management. The collection also reviews
nutritional approaches such as improving forage quality and the use
of plant bioactive compounds and other feed supplements to limit
emissions by modifying the rumen environment. Drawing in an
international range of expert authors, Reducing greenhouse gas
emissions from livestock production summarises what we can do to
make livestock production more sustainable and viable for the
future. It will be a major reference for the livestock
(particularly dairy) science research community, environmental
scientists, government and other agencies tackling the challenge of
climate change, as well as companies involved in livestock
production and processing of dairy and meat products.
