Methane production on dairy farms- what can be done on-farm to mitigate greenhouse gas production?
The dairy industry is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, which primarily come from cow rumen fermentation, manure, and crop cultivation. As environmental sustainability is becoming an increasing concern for consumers, the dairy industry has a responsibility to respond to those concerns by working to reduce environmental impact and developing more sustainable production. There is increasing research in this area, which has contributed to the development of resources and practices to aid dairy farmers in reducing their carbon footprint.
