- Abstract
The purpose of this review is to understand the importance of methane emissions from ruminant livestock. It highlights the advances made in the past century for understanding methane reduction possibilities and constraints. Therefore, recent research papers and publications are reviewed in this paper to aid farmers and researchers in pinpointing research gaps and mitigation strategies. Methane is a natural gas produced from activities such as agriculture, animal digestion and the decomposition of organic matter. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas exhibiting a warming effect more than 21 times that of CO2. Ruminant appears as the primary anthropogenic source of methane emission globally. Various approaches including feed manipulation, management practices, genetic selection etc. all were aimed at mitigating CH4 emission. Different methods for measuring methane emissions from livestock were made but each method has limitations, reducing enteric CH4 emissions should always consider its economic impact on farm profitability. However, using these technologies beyond their intended purpose is risky. Therefore, combining different methods may offer the most comprehensive approach, but further research is needed
