Animal husbandry significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with
livestock accounting for an estimated 7 to 18 percent of global anthropogenic emissions. Mitigation
strategies targeting enteric methane (CH4) and management of manure are critical for lowering
the environmental effect of animal production. This paper reviews current mitigation practices,
including dietary strategies, feed supplements, manure management techniques, and climate
smart livestock management. Emphasizing the complex interactions between these practices,
this review highlights the contribution of improving Animal performance and well-being as key
strategies for GHG emission reduction. It also explores the capability for synergistic approaches
to limit the emissions across multiple components of the animal production system
