Rumiantes y emisión de gases de efecto invernadero.

This document deals with ruminants and greenhouse gas emissions. The production of methane (CH4) by ruminants is derived naturally from the digestive process in them, but it constitutes a loss of energy and contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is why the number of investigations has increased in order to reduce ruminal methanogenesis. Based on the conclusions, it is determined that there are a large number of factors that affect methane production in ruminants, so the strategies for its mitigation must be comprehensive and carefully designed at any planning level; To mitigate methane emissions from agriculture, and specifically from livestock, the search for alternatives to reduce methane production by ruminants should be a concomitant activity to all research and technological application in the area of animal nutrition, which which can contribute to reducing GHG emissions; The actions to mitigate methane emissions by ruminants are only part of the wide range of actions to be taken immediately to mitigate and curb the effect of global warming and climate change, and the diet that ruminants receive has a great influence on the amount of methane produced and forage diets tend to generate more methane than concentrated diets. The association of practices that enhance the formation of propionic acid (increased intake level and percentage of concentrate in the diet, improved forage quality, inclusion of by-products with a high content of unsaturated fat, etc.) with a reduction in provision of degradable protein in the diet can reduce methane production and simultaneously improve energy efficiency (due to the glycogenic nature of propionic acid) and protein.
