 Globally, livestock are the largest source of methane from human-related activities – and
in the U.S., the third largest source. Livestock production can also result
in emissions of nitrous oxide, a very potent greenhouse gas, and carbon dioxide,
the most abundant greenhouse gas. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from livestock production through management strategies that
improve production efficiency and result in lower emissions per unit of milk
or meat produced.
To find out more about livestock emissions and how the adoption of improved
livestock production practices can help to reduce the emission
of greenhouse gases, check out the following sites:

and evaluate livestock production impacts on methane emissions.
