How do ruminants contribute to global warming?
Domestic ruminant animals are one of the important sources of methane. They contribute 23% of the total anthropogenic annual methane production, being the second largest source after fossil fuels. Almost two thirds of total methane production by domestic ruminants can be attributed to cattle. The rest is shared by goats, sheep, buffaloes, etc.
