Economic incentive policies can help the livestock farmers to opt for diet, breeding, and livestock management mitigation approaches. Dietary manipulation is easily applicable and can bring an immediate response. Dietary management, livestock management, and breeding management are viable reducing emissions pathways. We discuss three mitigation approaches: reducing emissions, avoiding emissions, and enhancing the removal of emissions from livestock. The combination of both could further improve our understanding of enteric CH 4 emission and possible mitigation measures. Two approaches for enteric livestock CH 4 emission estimation are the top-down and bottom-up. This paper reviewed the various CH 4 measurement and estimation techniques and mitigation approaches for the livestock sector.


Globally, livestock is an important contributor to methane (CH 4) emissions.
