Enteric methane mitigation strategies for ruminant livestock systems in the Latin America and Caribbean region: A meta-analysis por Souza Congio, Guilhermo Francklin de, Bannink, André, Mayorga Mogollón, Olga Lucía, Latin America Methane Project Collaborators, Arango, Jacobo, Gaviria Uribe, Xiomara

“…The region’s ruminant livestock sector however, is under scrutiny on environmental grounds due to its large contribution to enteric methane (CH4) emissions and influence on global climate change. Thus, the identification of effective CH4 mitigation strategies which do not compromise animal performance is urgently needed, especially in context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) defined in the Paris Agreement of the United Nations. …”

Weight gain and enteric methane production of cattle fed on tropical grasses por Korir, Daniel, Marquardt, Svenja, Eckard, Richard, Sánchez, Andrea C., Dickhoefer, Uta, Merbold, Lutz, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus, Jones, Christopher S., Robertson-Dean, M., Goopy, John P.

“…Conclusion: Even though animal performance and MY among treatments did not differ, the animals had higher MY and Ym than currently estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Implication: The three grasses supported similar animal growth rate, implying that growing of higher-yielding grasses such as Napier offers an opportunity to optimise land productivity in the tropics. …”
