The livestock industry, while a primary source of animal protein, faces significant challenges regarding global warming due to high methane (CH₄) emissions. According to the Global Methane Initiative (2025), this sector accounts for 2,614.42 MMTCO₂e, or 33% of total global CH₄ emissions, surpassing the oil and gas industry. Over 20 years, the impact of CH₄ on global warming has been recorded as 80 times greater than that of CO₂. Beyond environmental pollution, these emissions also result in economic losses for livestock farmers; ruminants can produce 250-500 liters of CH₄ daily, representing a loss of 3-17% of dietary energy. read more
