This book identifies future scientific research priorities for developing emissions inventories
emissions abatement techniques and mitigation strategies in order to improve and sustain
livestock production that is in line with climate change adaptation. Livestock production is a
major source of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases such as methane nitrogen oxides
carbon dioxide and ammonia all of which directly contribute to global warming and climate
change. Air pollutant emissions from agricultural practices have a negative environmental
impact and are of relevant political importance as highlighted in both the Kyoto and
Gothenburg Protocols. This book provides solutions on how to abate these emissions by using
effective abatement techniques such as additives manure storage covers aerobic and anaerobic
treatments and dietary manipulation. Each chapter in the book provides valuable up-to-date
information on abatement techniques thus allowing the reader to better understand the issues
involved. Recent advances and new perspectives in the field are also discussed.
