Abstract

Global environmental issues are increasingly prominent, and greenhouse gases are a serious threat to the climate. Methane is the second largest component of greenhouse gases, and its greenhouse effect is much larger than carbon dioxide (the largest component of greenhouse gases). Its emissions directly affect the atmospheric environment. At the same time, methane emissions from ruminants such as cattle and sheep also cause diet energy loss and methane emission reduction have become hot issues of global concern. To determine the methane emission reduction, the measurement method must first be clear. This article reviewed the measurement methods of ruminant methane emission in order to provide a reference for the study of methane emission reduction measures.
