Descripción

This paper presents the analysis of the “methane emissions” global impact domain. These emissions include methane emitted directly from livestock digestive processes (i.e., enteric fermentation) and methane emitted from manure management facilities. Ruminant animals, and in particular cattle, are the principal source of methane emissions from enteric fermentation. Liquid manure management facilities, such as lagoons, pits, and storage tanks, are the principal source of methane emissions from liv estock manure.
