Abstract

Methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants are responsible for approximately 50% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with agriculture in Scotland. Reducing the emissions intensity (EI; the amount of GHG emitted per unit of meat or milk produced) of ruminants is, therefore, key to reducing agricultural
emissions in Scotland. Scottish Government commissioned ClimateXChange to carry out a rapid evidence assessment for the effectiveness of probiotics, nitrates and high fat diets in addressing enteric fermentation as a source of GHG emissions.
