Herrero et al. (2012) reported that livestock roles in the economies of developing countries are significant to millions of both producers and consumers that are often vulnerable and economically constrained. Livestock serve as a source of food, income, manure, traction, and transport as well as serve as financial aids and enhance …
Often ignored is the fact that livestock systems contribute to global sustainability by providing various ecosystem services. For instance, a recent meta-analysis of 86 studies that examined various agroforestry systems revealed that net accumulation of soil carbon or sink of greenhouse gases was greatest when grassland was converted to …
Globally, the climate is changing, and this has implications for livestock. Climate affects livestock growth rates, milk and egg production, reproductive performance, morbidity, and mortality, along with feed supply. Simultaneously, livestock is a climate change driver, generating 14.5% of total anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas (GHG) …

ERS collects detailed information using the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) to describe and document changes in hog, dairy, cow-calf, …
Locally, livestock production systems have the potential to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and to carbon sequestration in soils and biomass. In harsh environments, such as mountains and drylands, livestock is often the only way to sustainably convert natural resources into food, fiber, and work power for local communities.

A local dairy farm, located in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea, provided sun-dried cattle manure. For the production of porous carbon from cattle manure, the cattle manure was first dried at 60 °C for 24 h. The oven-dried cattle manure was pulverized (particle size between 150 μm and 600 μm).

Most cattle in North America are finished in feedlots on grain-based feeds and proponents of this finishing method claim that this results in lower GHG emissions per kilogram beef produced and a lower carbon footprint because it reduces the overall production time to slaughter and enteric fermentation during this time, relative to grass …
Livestock feedstuffs include forages and grain-based and coproduct feeds. Grazed forages generally make up the bulk of livestock diets in Mississippi, but stored forages and grain-based feeds are also used, particularly during winter. Feedstuff storage, handling, and feeding characteristics affect which feedstuff is the best choice for an operation.

Thus, potential biogas production from cattle, pig, sheep, and poultry manure waste was 5.94 × 10 10, 1.02 × 10 11, 3.60 × 10 10, and 4.96 × 10 10 m 3 in 2017, respectively. Pig manure was the largest potential single …
The sun''s energy can be used for passive heating such as greenhouses, as solar thermal heating for hot water systems, or with photovoltaics (PV) it can be used to convert produce electricity. While photovoltaics are more …
This can reduce livestock production and affect the nutrient transfers to croplands, which in turn can reduce crop residue availability for livestock [53]. Increasing demand for the fodder, low availability of arable land and water, combined with less availability of resources put more pressure on the feed resources [ 54 ].
Among them, cattle farms with an annual production of fewer than 100 cattle accounted for 99.8% of all the cattle farms. This indicates that small-scale farming and operation still dominate China''s cattle farming industry. As discussed above, small-scale farms prefer to choose the compost-based system because it is easy to implement …
Livestock production is a major consumer of fresh water, and the influence of livestock production on global fresh water resources is increasing because of the growing demand for livestock products. Increasing water use efficiency of livestock production, therefore, can contribute to the overall water use efficiency of agriculture.

different livestock-production systems. This is important because livestock production is the most widespread land use on earth, occu-pying over 20% of its land surface (Ramankutty, Evan, Monfreda, & Foley, 2008), and ruminant meat in particular has a far higher green-house gas, land use, water and nitrogen footprint than do other
The livestock sector must become more sustainable while adjusting to climatic changes while at the same time meeting the rising population''s demands for animal-based products. The two main approaches to make livestock production "climate-smart" have been adaptation to climatic changes and mitigation of GHG.
Climate-smart livestock management aims to minimize the greenhouse gas emissions associated with livestock production. Efficient energy use in livestock …

The application of silage fermentation technology for the preparation of woody plant silage can avoid the loss of nutrients and enable long-term storage, thus solving the problem of livestock production during winter or drought seasons when feed is in short supply ( Tao et al., 2020 ).
In the Republic of Korea, daily production of livestock manure was approximately 0.2 million tons in 2018 [3]. Cattle manure is a large segment of the total livestock manure production (approximately 44%) [4]. When cattle manure is improperly managed, bad odor, eutrophication, and water pollution can be caused [5, 6]. Thus, there …
Intensification of livestock production in many parts of the world has led to increasing atmospheric N in connection with storage and field application of manure (Petersen and Sommer 2011).Both types of emissions are influenced by manure organic matter content via mechanisms such as composting, crust formation, mineralization–immobilization …
Forage crop improvement for improved livestock production and nutrition. We have a major challenge to sustainably grow the production of animal protein in order to feed an additional nearly two billion people by 2050. In addition, in some regions of the world, population is also predicted to be wealthier, which positively impacts …
The topmost livestock production constraint was feed shortage where a larger proportion of farmers (75.6%) suffered from the problem with higher (p ≤ 0.01) severity in nonproject intervention areas.
