Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ruminant animals such as buffaloes, cattle, goats and sheep make great contributions in supplying high-quality foods to meet the nutritional needs of ever-increasing human population. These nutrient-rich foods are vital in providing proteins of high biological value to maintain the health and development of people during their lifetime. While these animals can convert highly fibrous materials into high-quality meat and milk, they are blamed for releasing greenhouse gases (GHG) such as methane into the environment. These GHGs are suggested to cause climate change; therefore, sustainable strategies are needed to measure and mitigate methane emissions from ruminants. Many methods involving different sensors and digital tools have been tried and tested to both monitor and mitigate methane emissions from ruminant animals. This Special Issue invites esteemed authors to contribute articles on their research findings, particularly regarding innovative feeding, husbandry and management strategies to measure and mitigate methane emission from ruminant animals.
