Bilateral Impact between Dairy Cattle and Global Warming

Abstract

Although water vapour is the largest and essential greenhouse gas inclusive of ozone in the stratosphere, the mitigation of anthropogenic six greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons have been established as legally binding commitments in The Kyoto Protocol. Important greenhouse gases attributed to ruminant livestock are methane and nitrous oxide. When the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide is set to 1, the impact of the greenhouse effect of methane and nitrous oxide is 21-fold and 310-fold higher than carbon dioxide respectively
