Livestock – Climate Change`s Forgotten Sector: Global Public

Livestock production is the largest global source of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) – two particularly potent GHGs.5 The principal sources of N2O are manure and fertilizers used in the production of feed (see Figure 4). The biggest source of CH4 is from enteric fermentation – a digestive proc ...
