Detailed explanation-1: -The agricultural sector accounts for an estimated 40 percent of human-caused methane emissions. Reduction strategies include preventing the burning of fields after harvests, adjusting feed for livestock so that they release less methane, and regularly draining rice paddies. Fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Methane emissions from agriculture would likely be reduced if farmers produced more food from plants and less from livestock, or if they switched to more productive cattle herds. Emissions at landfills could also be captured.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grinding and pelleting of forages increases passage rate and reduces methane emitted by the animal. Fats are a high energy source that can be included as part of the diet and have been shown to have an inhibitory effect on methane production as fat can be toxic to methane producing microbes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Methane is a gas that produces a strong greenhouse effect in our atmosphere. It’s estimated to be contributing about 25% to warming temperatures from climate change.
