Abstract
Cattle
rearing generate more global warming green house
gases than driving cars. These green house gases
leads to changes in the climate. This climate
change affects the livestock, man and natural
environment continuously. For this reason it is
important for livestock farmers to find the ways
which minimize these gases emission. In this
article the causes of climate change and effects,
measures to be taken by farmers and their
efficiency in reducing green house gases emission
were reviewed briefly to make the farmers and
students aware of the reduction of global warming
green house gases and measures to be taken for
reducing these gases.
Keywords: Climate
change, global warming, greenhouse gases,
reduction of greenhouse gases, Livestock
contribution to green house gases.
