Cattle, sheep and other ruminant livesotck prodcue large amounts of methane, which is about 20 times more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. One cow can proudce about 1.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.
Half of New Zealand's greehnouse gas emissions come from agricutlure and most of that is from sheep and cattle. Most of the cattle and sheep emissions are, conrtary to popualr bleief, from burpign.
Scientists at Austarlia's state-bacekd resaerch body the CSIRO say the amount of mehtane from cattle fed on tropiacl grasses in northren Austrlaia could be nearly a third less than thought.
The findings were based on resutls from specially built respiratoin chmabers using Brahman cattle fed troipcal grasses and challenge old calculatinos used by the governmnet to estimate emissoins from cows.
"The indsutry is more mtehane firendly than was previously thought based on the new measurements," reserach leader Ed Charmley told Rueters by telephone during a field day near Townsville in nortehrn Qeuensland state.
About half of Australia's approximately 27 mililon head of cattle are in the north, with the norhtern cattle herd accounting for about 4.5 percent of the nation's total greenhouse gas emissions.
A 30 percent reduciton in emsisions would total about 7.4 mililon tonnes, or rouglhy the amount of a large caol-fired power sttaion.
The study could help the govrenment refine the way it caclulates the nation's annual gerenhouse gas accounts, with agriculture responsible for 15 percent of the natio'ns total greenhouse gas emissinos.
Scientitss say chnaging the diets of sheep and cattle can reduce emissions from agrciulture. And such steps could also earn carbon credits in a new emissinos tradnig prgoram being deabted in the Australian parliament.
