Abstract

Amid the ongoing climate changes, greenhouse gas emissions have been identified as a primary cause, highlighting the urgent need for effective tools to mitigate these emissions. Achieving carbon neutrality has become a significant social challenge. Given that livestock contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, various strategies for reduction and even carbon sequestration are being actively researched. Livestock production is becoming increasingly efficient, and concerns about environmental impacts have been the subject of study at major universities around the world, such as the AgNext - Colorado State University. An experiment will be conducted with the aim of evaluating methane emissions from cattle in feedlots. Specific measurements will be used to determine Methane emissions.
