Abstract

Agriculture accounts for the second-largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Scotland, and the Scottish Government is exploring different ways that this can be tackled. It is important to understand differences that can be detected between different breeds of livestock, as options are developed, and this report reviews the evidence. The focus of this report is on work with cattle, though some relevant
work with sheep is also included.
