Effect of variation in gridded cattle diet composition on estimated enteric methane emissions in data sparse tropical regions
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/163545
Abstract
Livestock directly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly through enteric fermentation and to a lesser extent manure management. Livestock feed composition plays a crucial role in diet quality and the resulting emissions from livestock. Diet composition varies seasonally particularly in tropical environments with long dry periods. However, existing data have…
