Abstract
Ruminants emit significant amount of methane to atmosphere. Methane is produced during the anaerobic fermentation of hydrolyzed dietary carbohydrates in the rumen contributing to emissions of methane gases into the environment. Methane emissions from livestock enteric fermentation and manure are projected to increase substantially in the coming decades. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of methane has led to serious clinical manifestation. Many factors influence methane emissions from cattle that include-level of feed intake, type of carbohydrate in the diet, feed processing, addition of lipids or ionophores to the diet, and alterations in the ruminal microflora. Manipulation of these factors can reduce methane emissions from cattle.
